Protests threaten Libya oil production

Libya's oil production is in crisis, following work stoppages at several fields and export facilities. As of Monday (July 8th), two fields belonging to the Zueitina Oil Company remained closed for nearly a week. West of Murzuq, an oil field with a capacity of 130,000 barrels also stopped production. Protestors demanded better wages and benefits, and jobs for locals.
