Libya’s National Oil Corp (NOC) said on Sunday that a key oilfield providing crude volumes to Mediterranean tankers is back at work after a two-week shutdown.

The force majeure declared on 7 January for Al Sharara field has been lifted and the facility is resuming “full production”, NOC said.

Sharara, which supplies crude to the Zawiya port near Tripoli, shut down due to protests by local citizens pushing for authorities to improve public services.
