Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC) said that Italy-flagged tanker VALLE DI SIVIGLIA arrived at Brega this morning to export condensates to free up storage in order to alleviate the electricity crisis.

Gas production was slated to stop in the east on 22 Aug due to maxed out storage.

This should allow the NOC to continue supplying Benghazi and Zueitina power plants with around 160 mn Cubic Feet Per Day.

It is only the second time Libya ‘exports’ from the east in 8 months.
