Akakus Oil Company announced the reopening of the Hamada “Al Rayana” oil pipeline, and the resumption of crude oil pumping operations from Sharara field to Al-Zawiya tanks.
In the meantime, Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Dabaiba, during his cabinet meeting Monday, demanded a number of members of the Petroleum Facilities Guard in the South West Branch immediately open Sharara, El Feel, El Wafa and Hamada fields, instructing the formation of a committee to follow up on the difficulties facing workers in the oil sector to perform their duties.
The South West Branch of the Petroleum Facilities Guard closed the Hamada valve-pipeline of the Akakus Company on December 20, to demand financial dues and the settlement of job positions, which led to a loss of exports estimated at more than 300,000 barrels of oil per day.
