The Sarir Oil Refinery has reached its full production capacity since it opened on 29 September, following the National Oil Corporation (NOC) announcement regarding lifting the force majeure on the oil fields and ports, said the Sarir field operator, the Arabian Gulf Oil Company (Agoco).

"The Sarir refinery has been operated ably and successfully thanks to the hard and diligent work of all staff at departments, fields, and oil sites," the Agoco head, Muhammad bin Shatwan said in a statement posted on the company's Facebook page.

Agoco has also restarted the Hamada field, which is pumping crude oil to the Zawiya plant, in addition to the Messla field, which is producing 67,000 barrels daily.
