TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Libya's oil production is now at more than 400,000 barrels per day (bpd), an official from the National Oil Corporation said on Sunday. Libya's crude output has been battered by fighting between two rival governments battling for control of the North African country. Production is well below the 1.6 million bpd levels before the 2011 civil war that ousted Muammar Gaddafi.
