Oil-exporting countries are concerned about the victory of the PNS over Haftar in Al-Vatiya: reasons are identified

The military success of the forces, which are designated as the forces of the Government of National Accord in Libya, can only be local to Fayez Saraj and those who support him from abroad. However, such success may be contrary to the interests of most major players in the oil market. It should be noted that several large oil fields continue to be under the control of the Libyan National Army.

The columnist Salma El Vardani, in a World Oil publication covering world events related to the oil market, writes that Khalifa Haftar “has long complained to the authorities in Tripoli that they lock all the proceeds from the sale of oil to themselves, without doing a fair redistribution of such income. " It was with this that the partial blockage of port infrastructure and oil production at large fields arranged by him was connected.



The material says that in order to consolidate success in the area of ​​Al-Vatiya airbase, the troops of Saraj and his Turkish allies may try to take complete control of the western oil fields of Sharar and Al-Fil.

From the article:

But Haftar’s past actions suggest that he will not end the blockade of oil ports and will not allow him to open fields unless a deal is concluded that gives him a share of Libyan energy revenues.

It is noted that if in 2019 Libyan exports reached a value of 1,2 million barrels, now it has collapsed to 90 thousand barrels per day. At the same time, in 2019, about 400 thousand barrels were exported precisely from the Sharara and El-Fila fields. And today, it is Khalifa Haftar’s forces that do not allow Saraj to “unpack” the deposits and begin production at the level of December 2019. World Oil writes that if Saraj succeeds, then Libyan oil exports will skyrocket dozens of times and strike at the agreements that it was so difficult to reach recently with OPEC + key players in the oil market.



But the problem is that Libya itself does not fully extend the new OPEC + agreement. In other words, the restrictions on oil production in Libya today are provided precisely by the forces of Marshal Haftar. And if the LNA is defeated, then Libyan oil will flood the world market, again dropping prices.

It is for this reason that in the West, and even among oil exporting countries, they are concerned that the forces of Saraj, supported by Erdogan, won in Al-Vatiyah. The West clearly needs a balance of power in Libya, and the victory of either side at the moment does not meet the interests of the West and the exporting countries.

The article by Salma El Vardani gives the opinion of Bill Farren, the head of the Canadian consulting company RS Energy Group. He says that even after the defeat of Haftar in al-Watiyah, it is unlikely that the Government of National Accord will win in all of Libya.

      Here it is. It is not necessary to search for "who benefits" for a long time. This means that the war will continue and continue to breed, no matter how the natives puffed up.

        And PNS does not shine there. All will remain with their own. And Russia’s quick rise in oil prices is not profitable. Therefore, Haftar was put aside. Then they will replace him with Saif Gaddafi.

            What is incomprehensible here? Remove shale from the market. To do this, you need a low oil price since another six months.

          Personally, I think that Haftar, that his opponents, as they are called there, are purple. But to see how Erdogan was vindicated in a sensitive place, a hot thread would be nice. You don’t even have to watch it yourself, just read the news report from the eyewitness would be enough. He has not yet answered much, in particular for the SU-24.

        Marshal Haftar was trained in the Russian Federation TWICE! He also contacted Shoigu by radio from the aircraft carrier "Admiral Kuznetsov", there is a video and a photo where the "cook" Prigozhin is present during the conversation! Then the RF Ministry of Defense wrote that he was responsible for feeding the Marshal! so who benefits from this mess? The answer is - EVERYONE!

          Libya was stupidly leaked by Medvedev, it's a fact. A stable and rich country that is on good terms with Russia is unprofitable .... to whom? The one who started the "mess" - the mattress. Don't lump everything together! Flies - separately, cutlets - respectively! Today, Erdogan, an ally of the mattress, rolled out his lip on the resources of Libya, so we conclude: the conflict has reached a dead end, a way out of which will be found with the victory of one of the leaders. IMHO for us is more profitable - Haftar.

        Colleague Fedor, somehow I am not very interested in the events in Libya, so I could be wrong. Probably, Haftaru: "a friend of the wizard will show a movie for free", but only "one session" so that he could restrain Saraj. Now victory in Libya by either side is not in the interests of OPEC

      Unknown fighters launched a missile strike on Turkish warships near the borders of Libya.

      According to The Cavell Group, a Turkish warship was seen burning near the port of Cider, with witnesses reporting the explosion. According to some sources, the Turkish Navy warship was attacked by unknown planes, and, most likely, we are talking about the fighters of the Egyptian Air Force and the UAE Air Force, which actively support the Libyan National Army.

      “Libya: it is reported that an explosion and fire occurred on a ship east of the port of Cider. The Libyan National Army’s military source claims that the Turkish ship was attacked when it tried to approach the Ras Lanuf area, The Cavell Group reports.

      Among other things, several sources report that MiG-29 fighters and Su-24 bombers, which are only armed with Egypt, were seen in the skies over Libya, which does not exclude the possibility that the Egyptian side attacked, which, By the way, she had earlier threatened Erdogan with very serious problems for helping the forces of the Government of National Unity.

      It is noteworthy that a little earlier the command of the Air Force of the Libyan National Army announced its readiness to inflict a crushing blow to the forces of the PNE and Turkey, using the air forces for this.

      ““ In the coming hours you will see the largest air campaign in the history of Libya, ”said Air Force Chief Haftara Sakr al-Jarushi in a statement. “All of Turkey’s positions and interests in all cities are legitimate goals for our Air Force aircraft, and we urge the civilian population to stay away from them,” Bloomberg reports.

        The Egyptians are either too desperate and fighting guys or are not completely friends with the head. Interestingly, they calculated all the pros from the support of Haftar and the cons from the war with Turkey (a NATO member, by the way)?
