Libya’s oil output levels has climbed back up to 1.3mn bpd, according to the country’s deputy oil minister
National Oil Company (NOC) had said that that crude oil production — which excludes 60,000 barrels a day of condensates output — had fallen below one million bpd amid protests a few weeks earlier.
Deputy oil minister Omar Shakmak, however, said, “As of recently, production was 1.3mn bpd, including both crude oil and condensates.”
More than one month ago Libya’s oil production, which has averaged 1.6mn bpd in recent months, was closer to an average of 1.4mn bpd in May 2013.
