利比亚国家石油公司（NOC）周五表示，一个武装团体关闭了连接西部哈马达油田与扎维亚炼油厂的主干原油管道上的一个阀门，并警告称，如果关闭持续时间过长，可能导致每天损失1.5万桶原油。
Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC) said Friday that an armed group shut a valve on the main crude oil pipeline linking the western Hamada field to the Zawiya refinery, and it warned that a prolonged closure could result in the loss of 15,000 barrels per day.
国家石油公司称，接到报告称，一个武装团体在赖亚纳地区关闭了哈马达主干管道阀门。
The NOC said it received a report that an armed group had closed the main Hamada pipeline valve in the Riyayna area.
这条18英寸管道是向扎维亚炼油厂供应原油的主要管线之一，连接着哈马达油田以及塔哈拉油田与该炼油厂。
The 18-inch pipeline is one of the main lines supplying crude oil to the Zawiya refinery and connects the Hamada fields, as well as the Tahara field, to the refinery.
公司表示，这种突然且强制的关闭导致运行压力急剧升高，迫使技术团队于凌晨12点30分（格林威治标准时间周四上午10点30分）停止通过该管道输油，以保护管道和生产设施。结果，连接该管道的油田的原油供应被迫中断。
It said the sudden and forced closure caused a sharp increase in operating pressure, forcing technical teams to halt pumping through the pipeline at 12.30 am (1030GMT Thursday) to protect the line and production facilities. As a result, crude oil supplies from the fields connected to the pipeline were suspended.
国家石油公司警告称，如果关闭持续，原本运往扎维亚炼油厂的每天1.5万桶原油将损失殆尽。
The NOC warned that if the closure continues, 15,000 barrels per day of crude destined for the Zawiya refinery would be lost.
公司补充称，此次中断还对油田设施和炼油厂原油供应的连续性构成直接威胁，可能对利比亚经济产生连锁反响。
The disruption also poses a direct threat to oil facilities and the continuity of crude supplies to the refinery, with potential repercussions for Libya’s economy, it added.
国家石油公司谴责此次关闭行为，并敦促有关部门，特别是石油设施卫队，保障管道安全，重新开启阀门，并尽快恢复输油。
The NOC condemned the closure and urged relevant authorities, particularly the Petroleum Facilities Guard, to secure the pipeline, reopen the valve and allow pumping to resume as soon as possible.
公司还敦促当局保护石油设施和输油线路免受袭击，以免威胁生产稳定和利比亚的石油资源。
It also urged authorities to protect oil installations and transportation lines from attacks that could threaten production stability and Libya’s oil resources.
此次事件继10月22日发生的一起类似关闭事件之后。当时，国家石油公司表示，武装人员关闭了哈马达-扎维亚原油管道上的一个阀门，该管道输送哈马达和塔哈拉油田生产的原油。
The incident follows a similar closure on Oct. 22, when the NOC said armed men shut a valve on the Hamada-Zawiya crude pipeline, which carries oil produced from the Hamada and Tahara fields.
9月21日，该公司表示，石油设施卫队的武装成员关闭了利比亚西南部沙拉拉油田的一个原油阀门，导致该国主要油田之一的产量大幅下降。
On Sept. 21, the corporation said armed members of the Petroleum Facilities Guard closed a crude oil valve at the Sharara field in southwestern Libya, causing a sharp decline in production at one of the country’s major oil fields.
国家石油公司随后表示，沙拉拉油田的中断造成了9500万美元的损失。
The NOC later said the disruption at Sharara resulted in $95 million in losses.
石油设施警卫长期以来一直要求提高月薪，与此同时，利比亚多个行业的工人也发起了类似的抗议。
Petroleum facility guards have long demanded higher monthly salaries amid similar protests by workers in several sectors in Libya.
