Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC) will start to gradually decrease production at the Sharara oil field, it said in a statement on Tuesday, citing force majeure due to protests in the area.

Libya's internationally recognized government condemned on Sunday attempts to shut operations at the Sharara oil field, describing them as "political blackmail", Reuters reported.

The Sharara field, one of Libya's largest production areas with a capacity of about 300,000 barrels per day, has been a frequent target of local protesters for various political reasons.

Prices are collected through field visits to points of sale, and the CPI statistics are published monthly.
