BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) - Libya's eastern Hariga oil port and its connected fields are working normally, a spokesman for the state operator said on Sunday. Fighting broke out on Saturday between armed factions of the country's competing governments over the Es Sider oil port, located also in the east but almost 1,000 km away from the Hariga port in Tobruk. "Hariga port and all our fields are working normally," said a spokesman for state oil operator Arabian Gulf Oil Co. He said a tanker would lift oil at Hariga on Sunday. The port, located near the Egyptian border, usually exports 120,000 barrels a day.
