March 14 (Reuters) - Libya is estimated to have lost two
thirds of its oil output while fighting between government and
rebel forces and international sanctions have halted all oil
exports from Africa's third-largest producer.

Oil prices have rallied in the past weeks due to supply
problems from Libya. [O/R].

PRODUCTION AND LOST OUTPUT

* OPEC member Libya is the world's 17th-largest oil
producer, third-largest producer in Africa and holds the
continent's largest crude oil reserves. It normally pumps around
1.6 million bpd, 85 percent of which is exported to Europe.

* Output is normally equivalent to about 2 percent of global
consumption, and unrest has cut output to about 500,000 million
bpd as many foreign and local workers have left the fields.

OIL TOWN BATTLES

* Government troops retook the oil town of Brega on Sunday
but rebel leaders said they moved back into the terminal town
overnight and surrounded Gaddafi's forces.

* The key port of Ras Lanuf fell to Gaddafi loyalists over
the weekend. On Sunday workers were struggling to contain an oil
tank fire at the terminal, damaged as a result of fighting.

* West of Tripoli, Zawiyah was back under government control
after troops crushed the revolt, leaving the city shattered.
Zawiyah's oil refinery was operating again on Friday after being
shut down by the violence earlier in the week, a refinery
official said.

* Forces loyal to Gaddafi were also in control of the port
town of Es Sider, where air strikes destroyed storage tanks and
other facilities during the fighting.

OILFIELDS

* Most of Libya's oilfields are around the Sirte Basin, which contains around 80 percent
of its proven reserves.

* The Hamada oilfield ceased production and the eastern fields of Sarir, Nafoora and Misla
are producing around a third of their normal capacity, an official at state-owned oil company
Agoco said on Thursday.[ID:nLDE7291KB]

* The Waha Oil Company, which operates the Waha, Dahra, Samah and Gialo fields, said its
output had dropped to less than a third its normal level. [ID:nLDE7271VV]

* The Al Jurf offshore oil field and Mabruk field have stopped producing, Total CEO
Christophe de Margerie said on Friday. [ID:nWEA8015]

REFINERIES, REFINED OIL PRODUCTS

* Libya has five domestic refineries with a total crude distillation capacity of 378,000
bpd: Azzawiya Oil Refining Co (120,000 bpd), Sarir Refining (10,000 bpd), Sirte Oil Co (8,000
bpd), Tobruk Refining (20,000 bpd) and Ras Lanuf Oil & Gas Processing Co (220,000 bpd).

* The IEA said Libya last year imported about 80,000 bpd of refined oil products and
exported about 100,000 barrels per day of oil products to OECD countries, mostly in Europe.

LIBYAN OIL COMPANIES

* Libya's oil industry is run by the state-owned NOC, which accounts for around 50 percent
of the country's output. Shokri Ghanem, head, of NOC called on employees to return to work and
said on Monday he was hopeful production could soon increase. [ID:nLDE72D16W]

* A unit of NOC, Agoco, has decided to operate separately and market oil direct to foreign
buyers until Gaddafi is overthrown and Tripoli free of his rule. [ID:nLDE7291KB]

FOREIGN PLAYERS

* The total equity share of the following foreign companies -- many of which operate
fields on behalf of Libyan National Oil Co -- amounts to about 460,000 bpd. The table below is

PORTS AND EXPORTS

* Libya is a net exporter of crude oil and normally sells around 1.3 million bpd into
world markets. It has domestic consumption estimated of around 270,000 bpd.

* The major oil ports are closed and officials said Libya turned away tankers from various
ports as storage facilities dried up, prompting ships to reroute to Saudi Arabia and Algeria
to secure cargoes. [ID:nL3E7EA158]

* London's marine insurance market has added Libya to a list of areas deemed high risk,
increasing significantly the cost of sailing to the country's ports. [ID:nLDE72319U]

* Libya exports from six major terminals, listed below with loading volumes for January
from the IEA: - Es Sider (447,000 bpd), Marsa El Brega (51,000 bpd), Ras Lanuf (195,000 bpd),
Tobruk (51,000 bpd), Zueitina (214,000 bpd), Zawiyah (199,000 bpd), other unspecified
terminals (333,000 bpd).

SANCTIONS

* A divided U.N. Security Council discussed authorizing a no-fly zone over Libya on
Monday after the Arab League called for the 15-nation body to act. [ID:nLDE72D018]

* Western countries, the European Union, Japan, South Africa and United Nations have all
imposed sanctions on Libya and frozen government assets. [ID:nLDE7211UI]

* Major U.S. oil companies including Exxon Mobil (XOM.N) and ConocoPhillips (COP.N) have
halted trade with Libya and banks are declining to clear payments in dollars [ID:nLDE7261FX]

CUSTOMERS

* About 32 percent of Libya's oil goes to Italy, 14 percent to Germany, 10 percent to
France and China and 5 percent to the United States.

* Buyers have said the shortage can be covered by alternative sources such as Nigeria and
Azerbaijan, which produce similar light, low-sulphur crude oils.

* Saudi Arabia has raised production to fill the supply gap, but opinions differ how much
spare capacity the kingdom has got and whether it can ramp up production further.
