Gunmen Storm Libya's El Sharara Oilfield, Shut Down Production -- Rigzone

Link here.

Gunmen seized Libya's major El Sharara oilfield, looting equipment and shooting as frightened workers sought shelter, oil sources said on Wednesday, in another blow to the country's oil industry which has been subjected to protests and militia blockades.

It was unclear exactly what happened at the field, which at maximum capacity produces about 340,000 barrels per day.

It is Libya's biggest operational field, located in the remote south where rival tribes have clashed since Muammar Gaddafi was ousted three years ago. The closure is a blow to government efforts to keep oil production isolated from the spreading chaos in the North African country, where two prime ministers, parliaments and army chiefs of staff compete for control.

The closure will lower the OPEC member's oil production, last reported at around 800,000 bpd, by at least 200,000 bpd. 

This should help. LOL.
