Libya has resumed a pipeline carrying crude oil to its largest export hub, after a halt that led OPEC member output to fall to its lowest level in two months.

Prior to the temporary halt, Libya’s crude production had risen to nearly 1.25 million barrels per day since an almost dead start in September, thanks to an uneasy pause between rival armed forces. Libya is pumping about three-quarters as much as it did before the 2011 uprising that defeated Moammar Al Qaddafi and provoked the country’s political and economic collapse.
