Aspokesman for state-owned National Oil Co. said that Production at Libya's largest field has been cut slightly after rockets fell near the refinery it supplies. The news underscores how a fast oil-recovery operation could be hindered by continuous chaos in the country.
The NOC spokesman said staff had been reduced after rockets fell near the Zawiya refinery on Monday, forcing Sharara, the field that supplies the plant, to pare back its output.
Libyan oil production has been ramping up in recent months after agreements with protesters led to the reopening of ports and fields. The country's output stood above 800,000 barrels a day, as of the most recent count on Monday. But the NOC spokesman said he had no update for Tuesday.
