Libya's El Sharara Oilfield Shut after Armed Group Seizure

Libya's El Sharara oilfield has shut down production after an armed group seized the field, oil ministry sources said on Wednesday.

A worker at the large southern field said there was a shooting, but more details were not immediately available.

The field was producing around 200,000 barrels per day before the shutdown, the sources said.
