But Haftar\u2019s past actions suggest he won\u2019t end his blockade of oil ports or allow other fields to open unless he gets a deal giving him a greater proportion of Libya\u2019s energy receipts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere may be attempts to restart southwestern oil fields but sustained production is something else,\u201d said Bill Farren-Price, a director at Canadian consultancy RS Energy Group. \u201cThe bulk of Libya\u2019s oil production is likely to continue to be disrupted until there are signs that the political process is moving again. That will probably require better international engagement, which is absent right now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Libya\u2019s exports, now just 90,000 barrels a day, stood at 1.2 million in late 2019. Sharara and El-Feel accounted for roughly 400,000 of those. If they came back onstream, it would offset a fraction of the output cuts by OPEC and its allies that have helped Brent crude prices soar 90% in the past month to around $37 a barrel.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Libya, which has Africa\u2019s largest oil reserves, is exempt from those curbs. The country has been in disarray since a 2011 uprising that led to former leader Muammar Qaddafi\u2019s ouster. Its crude output has never recovered to the level before then of 1.6 million barrels per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tripoli, which receives all of the nation\u2019s oil revenue via the central bank, distributes the money unfairly and to the disadvantage of the historically marginalized east, stated Bloomberg News, an international news agency headquartered in New York.
