Protesters in Libya have caused a production drop at the Al-Raguba field. The protesters are demanding employment and services for their areas and have closed the Al-Raguba oilfield in eastern Libya until demands are met, according to a local TV channel 218 report.
A spokesman for the state-owned NOC’s Sirte Gas and Oil Company, which runs the field, said the company’s daily oil production of 61,000 bpd has decreased due to the closure of the oilfield.
The protesters have previously threatened to close all the oilfields in Marada basin, a part of the coastal oil crescent region that contains major oilfields and ports, until their demands to provide employment and better services for their areas are met.
