The North Africa Post reported on Monday that the Petroleum Facilities Guard branch in the south has called on all entities responsible for securing the Al-Wafa oil field in response to what it described as a matter of utmost importance.
According to the report, the Presidential Protection Force urged all brigades to deploy on the ground to enhance security, despite not disclosing the reasons behind the heightened state of emergency.
The PFG posted images on Facebook showing patrols by brigades stationed at the Al-Wafa oil field, located 540 kilometers southwest of Tripoli near the Libyan-Algerian border. However, the PFG did not specify the exact threats that prompted the security alert.
The North Africa Post also noted that neither the National Oil Corporation nor Mellitah Oil and Gas, the joint operators of the field, have issued any statements regarding the recent developments.
