TRIPOLI: Libya is currently producing around 270,000 barrels of oil, a spokesman for state-owned National Oil Corp (NOC) said on Tuesday.

NOC spokesman Mohamed El Harari also said the eastern port of Hariga had been closed again by protesters. A first tanker had loaded oil on Saturday but protesters are blocking the docking of a second.

The 340,000-bpd-El Sharara oilfield also remains closed, he said, adding that the El Feel oilfield was pumping around 95,000 bpd.
