Nagi Elmagrabi, who was recently appointed the new head of Libya’s NOC out of Tobruk, is considering restarting exports from two of the country’s ports in the East.
“Among my priorities will be lifting force majeure at Es Sider and Ras Lanuf,” Nagi Elmagrabi, chairman of the National Oil Corp. for the eastern region, told Bloomberg. “I will also seek to increase oil production.”
Exports from the two ports were halted in December following an attack on Es Sider, its largest oil terminal, a force majeure was subsequently declared at both the Es Sider and Ras Lanuf ports.
