Today, the oil tanker Valle Di Siviglia arrived at dawn at the eastern Libyan port of Brega, at the National Oil Corporation (NOC)’s request.

The NOC said the tanker will ship 30,000 tons of condensate stored in the port to free up adequate storage capacity to enable continuation of natural gas production at its current levels of around 160 million cubic feet per day.

According to the NOC, this will lessen the current number and severity of power cuts. However, it will not entirely solve the problem, given that the natural gas needs of the Zueitina and North Benghazi power plants are estimated at around 250 million cubic feet per day.
