MILAN- Italian energy group Eni said on Monday oil production at the El Feel oilfield in Libya had been partially reduced due to a valve closure.

"Eni confirms that at the moment El Feel oil production has been partially reduced, following the forced closure of one of the valve stations adjacent to Hamada Station along the El Feel-Mellitah Complex pipeline," the spokesman said.

El Feel is operated by Mellitah Oil and Gas, a joint venture between Libya's National Oil Corporation and Eni.
