Libya pipeline blast causes drop in crude oil production, surge in oil prices

Описание: 리비아서 송유관 폭발…"하루 최대 10만 배럴 타격"
Oil prices surged to more than two-and-a-half-year highs on Tuesday after reports of a pipeline explosion in Libya cutting the country's crude supply.
Libya's National Oil Corporation says production has been reduced by 70-thousand to 100-thousand barrels a day, causing U.S. crude to reach more than 67 dollars a barrel.
The NOC did not state the cause of the explosion, but reports suggest the pipeline, which carries crude oil from Libya's south to a port terminal in its north, could have been attacked.
Libya produces about one million barrels a day, but supply has been disrupted in the past due to protests, power blackouts and conflict between rival factions in the country.
