A leak in an oil pipeline temporarily halted production from Libya’s eastern Messla oil field on Monday, a spokesman for the company that runs the field said.

Omran al-Zwai, spokesman for the Arabian Gulf Oil Company (AGOCO), said repair work was expected to be completed within a day. The field produces approximately 70,000 barrels per day (bpd).

AGOCO’s production before the leak was about 250,000 bpd, Zwai said. AGOCO is a subsidiary of the National Oil Corporation (NOC) operating mainly in eastern Libya. Libya’s national production has been fluctuating around 700,000 bpd. Kyrie Irving Womens Jersey
