Sanallah told Bloomberg that Libya’s crude production has been boosted by a third after restarting its biggest field – Sharara, which was reopened earlier in March after the end of a three-month occupation by armed groups.
“Three weeks ago, production was around 900,000 barrels a day. Now we’re in the range of 1.2 million barrels a day,” Sanallah told Bloomberg.
“Unfortunately, we have many oil fields that are outdated and did not undergo any rehabilitation in a long time.” He added.
