Libya's Sharara oilfield output resumes at half capacity -engineer

Libya's Sharara oilfield resumed production at half capacity on Monday after being shut down since Friday due to a valve closure, a field engineer said. The valve was repaired on Sunday evening enabling oil to be pumped again to Zawiya port, Libya's National Oil Corp (NOC) said in a statement.

The shutdown caused a loss of about 290,000 barrels per day (bpd) of production worth an estimated $19 million, NOC said.
