Oil tanker Valle Di Siviglia will ship 30,000 tons of condensate stored in the port to free up adequate storage capacity to enable continuation of natural gas production at its current levels of around 160 million cubic feet per day.

According to the national oil corporation this will also lessen the current number and severity of power cuts although not entirely solve the problem, given that the natural gas needs of the Zueitina and North Benghazi power plants are estimated at around 250 million cubic feet per day.

NOC says it is not able to provide this quantity of gas due to the illegal blockade of its oil facilities and its lack of a budget to import fuels resulting to the depletion of fuel for local markets.
