Libya Reopens Oil Pipeline After Two-Day Closure Hit Field Output

Libya has reopened a pipeline carrying crude from the Hamada and Tahara oil fields to the Zawiya refinery following a two-day shutdown.

The closure caused production at both fields to decline, disrupting the flow of oil along the route to the refinery.

The reopening restores the transport link, though the available information does not indicate whether output at the two fields has returned to its previous level.

The disruption comes amid continuing instability that threatens Libya’s oil revenues, underscoring the vulnerability of production to interruptions in pipeline operations.
