The Petroleum Facilities Guard (PFG), the force that guards Libya’s oil facilities, are working with the North African country’s unity government to reopen oil fields that have been shut in.
The PFG has also been in control of two of Libya’s major export terminals, Es Sider and Ras Lanuf.
Ali Hassi, the spokesman for the PFG said, “The commander of Petroleum Facilities Guards (PFG), Ibrahim Jathran, has announced that oil will be pumped soon and oilfields of the oil crescent (region) will be also prepared to resume work.”
Adding, “Jathran said that we, the PFG of central region, will work with the NOC that belongs to the presidential council of the government of national accord.”
The fields to be reopened was not discussed nor whether shipments from the two export terminals would be restored.
