Yesterday, Libya’s Zawiya Oil Refining Company stated that it was forced to stop refining operations due to a lack of crude supplies.
A source from the National Oil Corporation claimed that two refining units with a capacity of 60,000 barrels had stopped.
It should be reminded that oil output in Libya has fallen sharply since January 18 because of the blockades.
Hence, Libya’s oil production had dropped to 181,576 barrels per day by Thursday, from about 1.2 million barrels per day before the blockades.
