Libya’s state-run oil company, National Oil Corporation (NOC), lifted the force majeure at the El Feel oil field. The force majeure had been in place since late-February.
The dispute caused by the local Petroleum Facilities Guards’ (PFG) demands regarding pay and benefits was brought to an end and pumping at the field is expected to resume to 50,000 bpd within two days, and to 72,000 bpd three days later.
The field is operated by Mellitah Oil and Gas Company, a joint venture between Italy’s ENI and NOC. Negotiations succeeded in guaranteeing an unconditional return of Fezzan Branch PFG to their previous locations.
Mustafa Sanalla, NOC chairman commented: “We are happy to announce the return to production at El-Feel. Bringing El-Feel back online will help us swiftly return to maximum production levels.”
