„Wegen Unruhen. Wintershall muss Ölförderung in Libyen einstellen
Der größte deutsche Öl- und Gasförderer Wintershall kann wegen der neuen Unruhen in Libyen vorerst kein Erdöl mehr in dem nordafrikanischen Land fördern. Aufgrund der andauernden Blockade der Öl-Exportanlagen an der Küste habe Wintershall die Förderung dort bereits vor einigen Wochen einstellen müssen, sagte Unternehmenssprecher Stefan Leunig laut einem Bericht der „Welt am Sonntag“. Aktuell sei es unklar, wann die Blockade aufgehoben werde und wie schnell die Produktion in der libyschen Wüste wieder aufgenommen werden könne, sagte Leunig.

Blackouts in west as Amazigh gas blockade cuts power generation
By Callum Paton
Blackouts have hit Tripoli and western regions, thanks to Amazigh action against an oil and gas pipeline in the Nafousa mountains.
The fuel cut-off has meant that the key Ruwais power station has lost its gas turbine generators and is having to rely on its diesel sets to produce power.
A leading Amazigh figure warned that if the group’s political demands are not met, it will mark the beginning of “a new journey, a new odyssey far more difficult than the previous situation”.

La mine d’uranium d’Arlit, exploitée par Areva au Niger.
Le partenariat entre Areva et le Niger, où le géant du nucléaire français extrait près de 40 % de son uranium, est très défavorable à ce pays africain pauvre, a dénoncé l’ONG Oxfam, alors que les deux parties renégocient le contrat les liant. „En France, une ampoule sur trois est éclairée grâce à l’uranium nigérien. Au Niger, près de 90 % de la population n’a pas accès à l’électricité“, constate le rapport d’Oxfam „Areva au Niger : à qui profite l’uranium ?“, rendu public vendredi 22 novembre.

Libya Oil & Gas Report Q4 2013

„Libya’s security risks, that we highlighted could threaten the oil and gas industry’s recovery in 2012, have played out. Production has fallen rapidly in Q313 on the back of resurgence in domestic tensions, which could be exacerbated by growing unrest in the wider North African region. Oil and gas production forecasts have been downwardly revised as a result of these developments, particularly for the short term. The deficit of greenfield investment, owing to political unrest, will spill over into the long term in the form of slower production growth, as Libya underperforms its raw hydrocarbon potential.
Libya Protesters Shut Down Another Oil Refinery
By ESAM MOHAMED Associated Press Associated Press
Scores of Libyan protesters on Wednesday shut down an oil refinery in the country’s east to demand jobs they claim were promised for 1,000 people, a state-owned oil company official said.
The closure is the latest disruption to hit the country’s troubled economy in recent months, after militias seized a series of oil and gas terminals, severely cutting production and sapping much-needed state revenue. The protesters blocked entrances to the offices of The Arabian Gulf Oil company, a branch of the state-owned National Oil Corporation, in the eastern port city of Tobruk, the official said. They also blocked a road intersection leading to the refinery and forced the administration to halt production of fuel and natural gas destined for local consumption, he added.
