Brent Crude Falls On Weak China Data in Volatile Trading

In Libya, rebels have occupied ports and oilfields, depressing the country's oil production to below 250,000 bpd, the state-run National Oil Corp (NOC) said. The NOC said on Monday it shut the El Feel oilfield, because the pipeline to the Mellitah port was closed.

National oil production will fall to around 150,000 bpd on Tuesday as result, leaving almost nothing for export. An NOC spokesman said he did not know the reason for the pipeline closure.

An oil tanker seized by U.S. forces after it loaded crude at a Libya port held by anti-government rebels has docked back in the capital Tripoli, a Reuters witness said on Sunday.
