Another factor that has impacted the international oil market is associated with the Libyan government. Recognized by the United Nations, the government withdrew from peace talks with a rebel faction led by Khalifa Haftar, causing the interruption of oil production in Africa's largest exporter, due to the worsening of a civil war that has already lasted for a decade.  

The National Petroleum Corporation of Libya informed that the country's production fell to 1,2 thousand barrels per day, compared to 1,1 million bpd that were produced in the pre-crisis.  

In the United States, oil inventories grew by 414 barrels in the last week, very different from the 2,5 million barrels that were expected. Gasoline inventories were also alarming, with a drop of around 2 million barrels, versus the expected 435 barrels. Distillates fell by 636 barrels, versus the expectation of 1,46 million barrels.  

Still, in the country, gasoline consumption was five times higher than expected and oil exports were around 600 barrels per day.
