BENGHAZI (Reuters) -Production at Libya's El Feel, Sharara and 108 oilfields was shut on Thursday in a protest against the abduction of a former finance minister, a tribal leader told Reuters on Thursday. No protesters have entered the Sharara oilfield so far, two engineers working in the field told Reuters on Thursday. The Sharara field , one of Libya's largest production areas with capacity of 300,000 barrels per day, has been a frequent target for several political reasons and demands by local protesters. No immediate comments was available from Libya's Oil Corp (NOC). The mission said five members of Libya's High State Council were also reportedly banned from travelling at the same airport.
