Oil exports at major Libyan ports were still halted on Monday and production curtailed across the country, though some output was being increased to feed local power generation, six engineers said.

Exports remained halted at the ports of Es Sidra, Ras Lanouf, Hariga, Zueitina, Brega and Sirte, the engineers there said.

Meanwhile, both Brent and WTI have posted losses for two consecutive months as US and Chinese demand concerns have outweighed recent disruptions in Libyan oil supply and supply risk related to conflict in the Middle East.

According to Reuters, while Libyan exports remain halted, the Arabian Gulf Oil Company has resumed output at up to 120,000 bpd to meet domestic needs.
