Eastern-based Libyan military forces have taken control of the 70,000 barrel per day south-western El Feel oilfield, their spokesman said on Thursday. Libya's National Oil Corporation (NOC), which operates the field in a joint venture with Italy's Eni, expressed concern. "NOC is concerned about the developments near El Feel oilfield and is monitoring the situation closely to ensure the safety of its staff," an NOC representative said.
