Technical woes shut in Al Jurf flows
About 45,000 barrels per day of output from the Al Jurf field, in Block 137N
off Libya, has been shut in due to a technical problem, with National Oil
Corporation boss Shokri Ghanem warning the field could be off line for a few
weeks.
Al Jurf is operated jointly by NOC and France's Total.
"Production of 45,000 barrels a day has been stopped. This will be the
case for a few weeks," he told Reuters. "We have a team working
there, so hopefully soon we will bring back the production."
No one at Total was immediately available for comment.
