TUNIS: Libya’s internationally recognized government has agreed with state oil firm NOC on steps to reopen the El Sharara oilfield and lift force majeure, a contractual waiver, a statement said on Tuesday.
Both sides agreed on steps for civilians, who had helped seize the field in December to make financial demands, to leave, the Tripoli government said in a statement.
There was no immediate word from NOC.
