Roiss added that the company, which 20 percent of is owned by the Abu Dhabi government, started negotiations with the Libyan Transitional National Council in order to restart production in the country which contributed with 10 percent of the company’s output in 2010.
He also said that the shutdown in Libya’s operations forced the company to purchase replacement crude for its low-margin refining operations.
It is worth noting that the company’s production was also affected by the unrest in Yemen, since an attack on a pipeline in March stopped operations, however, the pipeline was fixed in July and oil pumping was resumed.
