TUNIS- Libya's National Oil Corp said on Tuesday it was suspending oil exports from Es Sider terminal citing bad weather and what it called a lack of storage capacity at the port caused by war damage to facilities and inadequate funds.
It said in a statement that its Waha Oil Co, which exports oil through Es Sider, has reduced production by 50,000 barrels per day (bpd) and that its total reduction in output may reach 105,000 bpd if the bad weather continues.
The NOC media office said separately that Libya's total oil output is 896,000 bpd, up from the 729,000 bpd it said it was producing last week.
