The National Oil Corporation warned, on Saturday, that stopping oil production will affect the natural gas supplies supplied to power plants, and that the sudden stopping of oil will cause the freezing of crude oil and if emptied it will lead to widespread environmental pollution.
The National Oil Corporation, in a statement, said that the natural gas supplies to both North Benghazi and Zuitina stations, which produce approximately 1,560 megawatts, have stopped.
The Corporation had announced that instructions to close the ports were issued by the head of the Guard of Oil Facilities Naji Almoghrabi and Ali Aljilani from the Sirte Operations who are Affiliates of Hifter.
