Now, the battle for Libya’s oil is focusing on Sirte, the gateway to Libya’s massive oil facilities, Oil Prices stated.
Sirte is on the coast, and it is largely the gateway to the country’s massive oil facilities. All the external forces in this battle are lining up now, around Sirte.
It was also off the coast of Sirte last week that the French attempted to uphold an arms embargo, Oil Price added.
This strategic gem along Libya’s coast is the entry point for the “oil crescent” and it’s also the only point from which you can control the route to the key ports: Sidra, Ras Lanuf, Masra al-Brega, and Zuwetina
Sirte is the strategic key to this conflict at the moment. Now, the game is to control the gateway to all of Libya’s oil facilities, including its key export terminals.
