Libyan oil output has healed after plummeting over the last few days due to clashes at the oil crescent.
The board member of the National Oil Corporation Jadallah Al-Okli said the output hit 673.200 barrels on Tuesday after registering 663.000 barrels on Monday.
He told Bloomberg that the increase of oil production in the oilfields operated by Al-Khaleej Al-Arabi Oil Company led to the new hike.
"Oil production rates to keep on increasing in the coming weeks from Abu Altefel oilfield, which is operated by Millita Oil Company." Al-Okli told Bloomberg.
Last Sunday, Al-Okli said oil exports were suspended at two key Libyan ports, Essidra and Ras Lanuf, over the unrest and clashes at the oil crescent region, pointing out that the oil output of the fields feeding those ports has plummeted as a result.
Petroleum Facilities Guard (PFG) of UN-proposed Presidency Council took control of Ras Lanuf and Sidra oil ports from Benghazi Defense Brigades (BDB) on Tuesday.
Chief of PFG Brig. Idriss Saleh Abu Khamada announced the takeover in a brief statement from Ras Lanuf. He said his forces will stay far away from the political conflict and their mission is to protect the oil ports and fields in coordination with the National Oil Corporation, adding that the two ports have not been damaged by the clashes.
