Public Information Bulletin – 26/02/2020
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.
Oil and gas production in Libya have been down since January 2020 as a result of the illegal blockade of ports and pipelines. Today the current levels of production are 135,723 b/d, as of Tuesday February 25, 2020. This is the lowest level of production since 2011.
Forced restriction of production has resulted in financial losses exceeding $2 billion USD, at $2,223,941,659 USD.
The NOC continues to supply hydrocarbons to the Central and Eastern regions in sufficient quantities to meet the transport and domestic needs of citizens. A gasoline tanker is discharging at Benghazi port, while another diesel tanker is expected to arrive at the port on Friday February 28. The city of Tobruk and the rest of the Eastern region are being supplied with 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 hydrocarbons 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.
