LONDON (Reuters) – Libya’s oil production has increased to 620,000 barrels per day, a senior Libyan oil official said, after a pipeline briefly blocked by militants was reopened.

On Tuesday, output at the Wafa gas and condensate field was shut after militants blocked an export pipeline. Production at the Sharara oilfield had also dipped after a separate connecting pipe was also briefly blocked.
