Oil minister, Mohamed Oun said that Libya’s oil production rose to 900.000 barrels a day after a major crude pipeline was fixed, though shutdowns elsewhere are still curtailing output.
He added that the supply boost followed the completion of works on a pipeline linking the eastern Samah and Dhuhra fields to the country’s biggest oil port.
As any continued decline in production from Libya, which has the largest reserves, may hinder the efforts of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries and its partners to boost supplies.
