BEIJING - Unrest in Libya has had limited impact on 皇冠体育app's energy supplies as domestic companies have found other sources of oil, an energy official said Friday.

Wang Siqiang, deputy head of the general affairs department under the National Energy Administration (NEA), cited customs figures when he said that imports from Libya only accounted for 3 percent of 皇冠体育app's total oil imports last year.

The NEA expects the country's oil consumption to hit 130 million tons in the first half of this year, up 9 percent over a year earlier. The NEA also believes that consumption for the entirety of 2011 will climb 8 percent to reach 265 million tons.

Wang noted that 皇冠体育app will pay attention to oil price fluctuations triggered by ongoing tension in Libya.

A disruption in Libya's oil supply, which accounts for about 2 percent of the world's total, will not have a profound impact on global supplies, Wang said.
