Libya has had to shut-in one of its oldest gas fields, the Nafoora field. According to NOC unit AGOCO, the closure of the gas pipeline to Zueitina from the gas gathering facilities at Field 103 stopped gas production at the Nafoora field.
The field produces both oil and gas, with the former being pumped to Tobruk’sHarega terminal and the latter to Zueitina, via Field 103. However, because of the closure of the pipeline to Zueitina from Field 103, the gas storage facilities at the latter are now full.
“Supplies to Zueitina have stopped, an AGOCO spokesperson told the Libya Herald. “The field can’t pump to the port because there is not enough storage [at 103].”
While gas flows may have been shut-inNafoora’s oil still continues to flow to Harega. Prior to Libya’s civil war the Nafoora produced at a rate of 70,000 bpd; the field’s production is now about half of that.
