Despite the turmoil in Libya that has shut-in the country’s exports on and off, Austrian producer OMV said its Libyan operations were not currently not affected by these incidences that have shut down export terminals and oilfields.
“We see very little impact on OMV of the strikes,” Jaap Huijskes, head of OMV’s exploration and production operations, told a news conference, adding that OMV’s operations were concentrated in the west of the country, which is not affected.
“At the moment it’s fully on,” he said. This was not the case in June however when the company shut-in the majority of its Libyan production. The taps were turned off at OMV’s oil facilities on June 25, but production resumed again in mid-July.
