Almost all of Yemen's oil production is likely off line after a strike disrupted output from major fields in the eastern Masila basin, Canada's Nexen said Monday.

Nexen, which is the country's largest foreign oil producer, advises that "production has been temporarily shut in and operations suspended in Yemen as a result of a strike by members of the Masila Labour Union."
