Libyan oil production has now reached 1.215 million barrels per day (bpd), a Libyan oil source told Reuters on Friday, as the OPEC member’s oil industry recovers faster than expected.
The North African country’s National Oil Corporation (NOC) said on Nov. 7 that production had reached 1.04 million bpd.
Libya’s oil output has been rising steadily since the gradual lifting of an eight-month blockade by eastern forces in September. On Oct. 26, NOC ended force majeure on the last facilities closed by the blockade.
