Oil: U.S. receives first Libyan oil

Pipeline Magazine reports that Occidental has shipped its first cargo of Libyan crude oil to the US since returning to its historic contract areas.

The 900,000 barrels was the first shipment of a US company's equity share of Libyan crude oil to the US market since the US lifted economic sanctions on Libya that were in place for nearly 20 years.
