Oil prices fell about 1% on Tuesday, on signs of resurgent crude output in Libya and concerns that extended production cuts by leading exporting countries may not be enough to drain a global glut that has depressed prices for almost three years. Brent crude LCOc1 ended the session 45 cents, or 0.9%, lower at US$51.84 a barrel. - Reuters
