Public Information Bulletin Monday 02 April 2020
The chairman of NOC has recently filmed an address to all Libyan people, the message is in two parts which can both be found on the official NOC Facebook page.
The Head of Health and Safety for NOC has summarised what NOC is doing to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic. This video is available on the NOC Facebook page.
The forced and illegal restriction of production has resulted in financial losses exceeding 3,893,213,466 USD since January 17, 2020. This means the Libyan economy and financial reserves are getting weaker every day due to the blockade.
Total oil production inside Libya is down to 92,731 barrels a day, as of April 1, 2020.
Many NOC facilities were illegally shut-down on 17 January 2020. This resulted in the shutdown of Zawiya refinery, and since then NOC has had to increase its imports of fuels to meet people’s basic needs.
NOC calls on all parties within Libya to lift the blockade and re-start oil and gas production, so every Libyan can benefit from a stronger economy and a more steady supply of fuels.
NOC provides fuels to people in Eastern regions via different ports across the Libyan coastline.
However, transportation of fuels into the Southern regions is difficult and intermittent due to the deteriorating security situation.
Some cargo shipments are shared between various ports across the whole Libyan coastline. This is because of low levels of funding given to NOC, and to make sure vessels deliver fuel to all regions.
The “ANWAAR LIBYA” tanker has unloaded part of its gasoline shipment in Tripoli and the rest of the shipment in Benghazi. This demonstrates NOC’s commitment and ongoing efforts to ensure that all regions are supplied with fuel.
NOC will continue to publish data on fuel stocks in Libya as well as details of shipments, to inform citizens of fuel availability in their area.
Please beware of disinformation regarding the current fuel situation, published by non-NOC sources. This report is the only source of accurate and updated information.
