An oil field in western Libya and a natural gas link to Italy resumed after a short halt as protesters withdrew from the facilities following assurances from the government that their demands would be met.

Shipments from the Wafa field, which produces 40,000 to 45,000 barrels a day, are back up after being halted on Sunday as guards at the facilities demanded better pay, according to a person familiar with the operations. The gas pipeline to Italy is also operating again, they said, asking not to be identified because the information is private.
