BENGHAZI, Libya- Libya's Abu Attifel oil field, which had been shut for about two weeks due to a stand-off at eastern export terminals, has resumed operations, an engineer and a Libyan oil source said on Thursday.

The oil source said the production restart would be gradual, and that the field's recent output had been 50,000-60,000 barrels per day (bpd), a little below its 70,000 bpd capacity.
