This morning, Libya’s Oil Minister Mohamed Oun confirmed to Argus Media that the 70,000 bpd El Feel oilfield had been shut down by protestors. But around 1:30 PM U.S. Central Time, reports started to surface that operations had been halted at the Sharara oil field due to protests. #Libya’s Sharara oil field said to halt production due to protests #oott — Giovanni Staunovo???? Libya’s Sharara oil field is capable of producing almost 300,000 bpd of crude oil and is owned by Libya’s National Oil Company, TotalEnergies, Repsol and OMV. Watkins notes that last time the General ordered his troops to be on standby, Libyan oil production effectively collapsed from 1.2 million bpd to near zero barrels per day.
