After a blackout in power in areas of Libya caused a dip in the country’s oil production, flows rebounded allowing Libya to see production rates of 700,000 bpd. Power in western Libya went out on January 14, leading to production dropping to 655,000 bpd.
Electricity is returning gradually to fields in western Libya and production should increase further as electricity is restored at more fields, the person said.
The blackout occurred after an unspecified group of people closed the valve of a natural gas pipeline that feeds the Zawiya power station in the western region, and electricity was restored later in some areas, the state-run Lana news agency reported. Other factors contributed to the outages, including attacks on power stations, the national utility GECOL said in a statement.
