Allies of a renegade general have blocked a key oil-export pipeline in western Libya, forcing additional production cuts a day after a port blockade had already halved the country’s output, the national oil company said. The state-run National Oil Corp. said the Libyan National Army, a militia led by Gen. Khalifa Haftar, had shut an export pipeline, leading to reduced production at two western oil fields, Sharara and el-Feel, which normally pump a total of 400,000 barrels a day.
