Yemen's production and exports of crude oil have come to a near standstill, shipping sources said on Wednesday, after a mid-March blast at one oilfield and a workers' strike at another.

"There have been no exports of crude from Ras Isa for the past three and a half weeks," one shipping source said. "There has been no production of Marib Light crude since then."
