In Libya, oil production surged last week to one million barrels a day, reports the Libya Observer. This is the highest level of production achieved since the beginning of this year.
This level of production was achieved thanks to the revival of production at the Sharara oil field, but also on the fields Amal and As-Sarah. The Sharara field alone can produce more than 300,000 bpd.
The country has been seeing its production yo-yo since 2011 due to clashes around production facilities. The country that plans to exceed two million barrels by next year is still struggling to reach the pre-2011 level of more than 1.4 million bpd.
