“The last 13 Rompetrol employees returned to Romania the last weekend. Since the airport from Tripoli is closed, the employees were transferred by car to Tunisia, where from they came to Romania via France,” the company, part of the KazMunayGas group, said in a press release Monday.
On the basis of agreements with its commercial partners, the company has temporarily suspended its main operations and more than 50 Libyan employees will further ensure the maintenance and safety of the equipment from the camps, related to the oilfields.
The drilling and well services division has been operating in Libya since 1976, carrying out its operations in five locations – including Tripoli, where the headquarters is located.
