    According to foreign media reports, the Libyan National Oil Company announced in Tripoli on the 16th that after several workers operating in the Salala oil field, the largest oil field in Libya, were hijacked by militants, the Libyan authorities evacuated the relevant personnel operating in the oil field and closed the oil well to ensure safety, and the oil production of the Salala oil field will fall by about half
    .

    The Libyan National Oil Company said in a statement that as a result of the precautions, oil production at the large oil field in western Libya would fall by about 160,000 barrels
    per day.
    Unidentified attackers released two of the four workers kidnapped at the Sharala oil field early Saturday, but the other two have still not been released
    .
    But the Libyan National Oil Company did not disclose further details about the kidnappers or their possible motives
    for carrying out the kidnapping.

    After years of political divisions and internal conflicts, Libya has tried to restore reliable crude oil flow from its largest oil field, the Sharala field, but kidnappings and production losses have highlighted the obstacles
    it faces in oil production.

    The Salala field is operated
    by an international consortium consisting of Libyan National Oil Company, France's Total, Spain's Repsol, Austria's Oil and Gas Group and Norway's Equinor.
