Libyan oil production to return to normal following resolution of dispute
Tribes loyal to former rebel Khalifa Hifter shut down oil fields and ports in eastern Libya recently over a dispute with the transitional government.
Libyan Minister of Oil Mohamed Oun said Wednesday that oil production will return to normal soon in the North African country.
In an interview with the Qatar-based Libya Al Ahrar TV, Oun said he expects Libya’s oil production to return to its “natural level” within a week or 10 days. When pressed by the presenter to provide a numerical figure, he said more than a million barrels per day. The Ministry of Oil posted the interview to its Facebook page.
