Fires Spread to Five Crude Tanks at Libya\u2019s Oil Terminal – Bloomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Libyan storage tanks capable of storing 6.2 million barrels of oil, or four times the country\u2019s daily oil production capacity, are at risk of catching fire with southerly winds threatening to spread the blaze.<\/p>\n

Five tanks are on fire at the Es Sider port, Libya\u2019s largest oil terminal, Ali al-Hasy, a spokesman for the Petroleum Facilities Guard, said by phone. The wind is strong enough that the blazes may spread, he said. Es Sider tanks have capacity to hold 6.2 million barrels, according to Mohamed Elharari, a spokesman for Libya\u2019s National Oil Co.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a disaster threatening the lives of thousands of people,\u201d Libya\u2019s Ministry of Oil & Gas said on its website. \u201cThe fire smoke covers the city\u2019s residential area in Ras Lanuf.\u201d International assistance is being sought because the fires may lead to environmental damages in the Mediterranean Sea, al-Hasy said.<\/p>\n
