- Two Libyan oil fields have resumed production, officials say, enabling the first delivery of oil from onshore fields to a key refinery for the first time in weeks and sparking hopes of political stabilization.
- Production has resumed at the El-Feel field in southern Libya, jointly operated by the state-owned National Oil Co. and Italy's Eni (NYSE:E), and at the Eastern Zilten field, which is controlled by state-owned Sirte Oil and supplies the Brega oil terminal, also restarted in recent days as the operation was deemed secure.
- The easing of the oil shutdown comes after Libya's supreme court yesterday ruled as unconstitutional the election of Islamist-backed premier Ahmed Miitig.
