Libya Redirects Sharara Oil Flows After Pipeline Fire
Libya's National Oil Corporation redirected flows from the Sharara field after a pipeline fire on Wednesday. Production continues while repairs take two days.
The National Oil Corporation of Libya announced early Wednesday that oil flows from the Sharara field are being redirected through alternative routes following a fire at a pipeline valve. The state-owned firm confirmed that production remains active and no casualties were reported during the incident. To mitigate potential losses, volumes are being channeled through the El Feel oilfield pipeline toward the Mellitah port, with additional supplies diverted via the Hamada pipeline to storage tanks in Zawiya.
Despite the redirection, technical staff at the site indicated that a gradual shutdown of some production was necessary to facilitate repairs.
