Pipeline closure risks taking nearly all Libya's oil offline

CAIRO (Reuters) - Two major oilfields in southwest Libya began shutting down on Sunday after forces loyal to Khalifa Haftar closed a pipeline, potentially reducing national output to a fraction of its normal level, the National Oil Corporation (NOC) said.

The closure, which follows a blockade of major eastern oil ports, risked taking almost all the country's oil output offline as international leaders met in Berlin for a peace summit on Libya.
