Three Libyan oil ports began export operations after a halt on July 5 because of protests, said the chairman of state-run National Oil Corp.
Crude production in the North African country will return to a level of 1.5 million barrels a day within 24 hours, Nuri Berruien said today in a phone interview from the capital, Tripoli. “Everything is back to normal since last night,” he said. “The three ports are open, production is picking up and ships are getting in to start loading.”
