As is often the case in the Libyan oil industry over the past several years, one step forward two steps back. Just weeks after the Government of National Accord (GNA) reached a deal with Libya’s Petroleum Facilities Guards (PFG) to reopen two major ports under their control, the PFG has shut in two oilfields. According to reports the PFG shut in two oil fields due to non-payment from the GNA.
Commander Mohammad Ahmad Alkhbasha told Reuters the PFGs’ southern brigade had shut the Gulf and the Al Wafa oil fields.
“There are about six oilfields under our guards’ control and we have stopped the pumping of crude oil from Gulf and Alwafa oilfields,” the commander said. “But gas will be continued from Al Wafa normally.”
Delays in the budget from the GNA for NOC has undermined oil production and now caused even more of the country’s production from flowing.
