The Board of Directors of the National Oil Corporation (NOC), in the presence of its Chairman Farhat bin Qadara, in Benghazi, discussed with the notables of the Fezzan region the repercussions of the sit-in that led to the declaration of a state of “force majeure” in the Sharara oil field near Ubari in southern Libya.
The National Oil Corporation announced last Sunday a state of force majeure in the Sharara oil field, against the backdrop of its closure by protesters demanding the provision of fuel and its derivatives in the Fezzan.
The protesters also demand the activation of the decision to establish a refinery in the south, the maintenance of dilapidated roads in the cities of Fezzan, in addition to the appointment of graduates from the region, the restructuring of the Fezzan Reconstruction Fund, the cancellation of the agreement signed between the Ministry of Health and the National Oil Corporation regarding the Ubari General Hospital and obliging the Corporation to establish a private hospital in Fezzan.
The NOC said the shutdown caused crude oil supplies from the field to the port of Zawiya to be halted.
