Libya is planning to resume pumping crude within days from two deposits that together accounted for almost 45 percent of the nation’s output last month, the National Oil Corp. said.

The Sharara and Elephant fields in the south west should resume production on Nov. 12, Mohamed Elharari, a spokesman for state-run NOC, said by phone from Tripoli, the capital. The oil port of Hariga, the country’s most easterly, will also start “soon,” because workers there are about to receive overdue pay, he said.
