Libya's Largest Oilfield Hit By New Armed Group Blockade By Tsvetana Paraskova of OilPrice.com Crude oil production at Libya's largest oilfield, Sharara, has slumped over the past day after an armed military group closed a valve on the pipeline that carries crude oil from the field to the Zawiya port for exports, in yet another global supply scare amid ongoing disruptions in the Middle East.

The Guard wants to be transferred financially and administratively from Libya's defense ministry to the National Oil Corporation and has called for a timetable to complete the move. NOC said it could declare force majeure if the clos...
