A big rebound was seen in Libya as the North African country saw the restart of two major fields. The country saw its Sharara field restart as well as the El Feel field. Production has hit more than 700,000 bpd.
The Sharara field is currently producing 216,400 bpd, while the El Feel, or Elephant, deposit is pumping 26,500 bpd and is expected to boost output further, Jadalla Alaokali, a board member at the National Oil Corp. (NOC), told Bloomberg by phone.
Crude from Sharara started flowing to the Zawiya refinery after the port of Zawiya re-opened last week following a three-week closure. El Feel, idled since April 2015, also restarted last week.
The El Feel is operated by a JV between ENI and NOC. It has a capacity to produce at a rate of 90,000 bpd and had been ready to restart but was delayed as feedstock from the Sharara helps to supply electricity to the field.
