São Paulo – Libya saw LYD 1.98 billion in oil export revenues year-to-date through April, an amount equivalent to roughly USD 1.4 billion, African news outlet Panapress reported quoting official Central Bank of Libya numbers. Libya is an Arab country located in the African continent.
Libya is struggling with maintaining its oil at full capacity, as a result of political unrest since the ousting of dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The Government of National Accord is officially ruling over the country, however opposing forces do not recognize its authority, and are controlling part of Libya’s territory.
Libya’s National Oil Company (NOC) recently said that a blockade of oil-producing areas as a result of fighting since January has trimmed daily oil output down to between 92,000 and 72,000 barrels per day, from a prior 1.2 million bpd.
