Libya’s National Oil Corp (NOC) declared force majeure on Monday on exports from the port of Hariga and said it could extend the measure to other facilities due to a budget dispute with the country’s central bank.

The Hariga news sees Libyan oil output slump below 1m barrels a day. Hariga port, located in the east of the country, has a crude oil export capacity of 120,000 barrels per day.

Libya’s oil exports have been hampered for many years due to civil war.
