businessweek.com — Libya is seeking to boost its oil production by a third to 2 million barrels a day by year-end, surpassing last year's pre-conflict level, Libyan ambassador to Washington Ali Aujali said. How fast Libya returns to pre-war levels or surpasses them "depends also on the oil companies, how fast they are returning" to restart or expand operations, Aujali said, speaking at a Bloomberg Government breakfast in Washington yesterday.
