Libya's Sharara oilfield pumping 308,000 bpd, unaffected by El Feel closure

BENGHAZI: Libya's El Sharara oilfield is producing 308,000 barrels per day (bpd) and has not been affected by a shutdown at the country's other major southwestern field, El Feel, an engineer at Sharara said on Monday.

Sharara is still suffering from security threats including theft and abduction but had been able to maintain production despite budget constraints and maintenance work, the engineer said.
