Libya's Marsa el-Hariga Crude Terminal Facing Protests

OIL

Libya's Marsa el-Hariga crude export terminal has been threatened with closure by unidentified groups according to shipping sources speaking to Argus.

  • Protests have taken the 200,000 bpd Sarir field offline and impacted operations at Ed Sider and Ras Lunaf ports.
  • These disruptions add to blockades that have been in place at the Zueitina and Marsa el-Brega ports since mid-April, as well as at the 70,000 b/d-producing El Feel field.
  • The country's crude exports fell to a 19-month low of 708,000 b/d in May due to persistent disruptions.
  • Libya’s biggest field, EL Sharara, was recently restarted after protests but production has so far been unreliable.
