The National Oil Corporation (NOC) announces that on the day of Thursday, March 8, 2022, at 00:30 a.m, the valves located in the Al-Riyayna area on the “Al-Sharara -Zawiya” line were opened, after being locked by outlaw groups, and the pumping was started at 1:00 a.m in the dawn.
The Al-Feel valve was not opened because of sabotage and removing some equipment from it.

On this occasion, the NOC offers its thanks and gratitude to all the good people who contributed to the opening of the valves and the return of production, that was led by the ‘Joint Operations Room in the Western Region’ and ordered by Major General Osama Al-Jouili, who answered the call of the homeland and was keen to enforce the law and punish the perpetrators.
