The Marsa el Hariga and Zueitina oil terminals have said normal operations were resuming after protesters who were conducting sit-ins at the locations left. The protests and sit ins at Libya’s oil terminals have cost the country around 250,000 bpd in lost production according to Libya’s oil minister Abdelbari al-Arussi in a LANA report.
A-Arussi said on June 10 that demonstrations have been held at the terminals at Al-Harriga in Tobruk, and Zueitina in the east, and at the Al-Fil oilfield in Ubari in the south. The minister said that the protests were effecting the country’s economy but gave no reason for them.
The country has seen the terminal at Zueitina shut down repeatedly by strikes and other problems; once it was shut in for six weeks.
The latest disruptions have caused Libya’s oil output to drop to 1.16 million bpd a senior industry source told Reuters.
