Libya’s National Oil Corporation says that a wave of protests affecting the energy sector is likely to get worse.
The corporation reports that at least four separate groups have stopped production at oil fields and energy facilities across the country.
The protesters want Libya's Tripoli-based Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah to hand power to a rival government led by Fathi Bashagha which was formed last month.
Mr Dbeibah however says he still has the mandate to govern until national elections are scheduled for June.
