Libya’s oil production is rising for the first time in 10 months after the North African country started a field in the south and smaller deposits elsewhere resumed after months of disruption.
Flows from Sharara are set to reach 340,000 barrels a day today, Mansur Abdulla, oil movement coordinator at Zawiya Refinery, said in a phone interview. The field, near Ubari in the south, had been closed for about 90 days because of protests. Libya’s total daily output will rise to 600,000 barrels by tomorrow, according to Ibrahim Al Awami, head of measurement and inspection at the oil ministry.
