Libya's Al Jurf offshore oil field stopped-Total CEO
Libya's Al Jurf offshore oil field has stopped producing amid turmoil in the country, Total Chief Executive Christophe de Margerie said on Friday.

"We were one of the last producers, because one of our fields (Al Jurf) is offshore. Until last week we were still producing at that field but now it is stopped," de Margerie told journalists at a media breakfast.

Libya's Mabruk oil field had already been stopped for some time, de Margerie said.

A Total executive had said at the start of the month that production at the Mabruk field would gradually come to a halt.

The head of the French oil major said he estimated Libya's current oil output at between 200,000 and 300,000 barrels per day.
