Libya's state-owned energy firm said Sunday production had resumed at Al-Sharara oilfield, which provides a quarter of the country's daily oil output, two weeks after protests led to a shutdown.
The National Oil Corporation (NOC) announced the "lifting of force majeure" and the resumption of "full production" at Al-Sharara, which normally produces up to 315,000 barrels per day.
The NOC on January 7 declared "force majeure" at the southwestern oilfield "due to the closure of the site by protesters". It did not elaborate at the time on the protesters' demands.
