Public Information Bulletin – 24/02/2020
This official notice summarises the situation across Libya for the oil and gas sector. Please beware of disinformation regarding the current fuel situation published by non-NOC sources. Please treat this report as the only source of accurate and updated information.
The production, transportation and supply of oil and gas continues to be severely reduced due to the ongoing security situation across Libya. The National Oil Corporation (NOC) confirms there has been a drop in production as a result of the blockade of ports and pipelines. The current level of production is 122,430 b/d, as of Sunday February 23, 2020. Forced restriction of production has resulted in financial losses exceeding 2 billion USD at 2,101,739,911 USD since January 17, 2020.
The NOC continues to supply hydrocarbons to the Central and Eastern regions in sufficient quantities to meet the transport and domestic needs of citizens. An LPG tanker has finished discharging at Benghazi port, while another gasoline tanker is expected to arrive at the port tomorrow. The city of Tobruk and the rest of the Eastern region is being supplied fuel directly from Benghazi.
Tripoli storage depots and some of the surrounding areas and Southern regions are still suffering from a lack of supplies due to the deteriorating security conditions. The city of Tripoli is supplied with fuel directly from the Tripoli port.
As part of its commitment to transparency, the NOC will continue to publish data on fuel stocks in the Central, Eastern and Southern regions as well as details of shipments, to inform citizens of fuel availability in their area.
