TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Libyan authorities were in negotiations on Wednesday with protesters threatening to restart a blockade of the southern El Sharara oilfield, where protests cut output for two months last year, tribal and National Oil Corp (NOC) sources said.

The restart of El Sharara two weeks ago, with its production back to 328,000 barrels per day (bpd), helped push Libya's crude exports up to around 510,000 bpd after months of protests and strikes across the industry.
