While the blockade may have ended on Libya’s El Sharara oil field, production has yet to resume. The local tribesman who had been protesting at the production site ended their blockade, but a separate protest at a connecting pipeline has kept production from resuming.
“The protesters who closed the field have left but we cannot resume work because the valves are still closed,” El Sharara’s field manager Hassan Sadiq told Reuters. Sadiq said there were negotiations aimed at ending the closure of the pipeline valves in the western mountains and engineers hoped to resume pumping within a week.
The protesters that have the pipeline in the Zintan region closed are a different group and have their own set of demands.
