Oil prices fell on Wednesday, as rising output from Libya added to concerns about increasing U.S. production which is undermining OPEC-led production cuts aimed at tightening the market. Brent crude futures , the international benchmark for oil prices, were at $51.72 per barrel at 0155 GMT, down 12 cents, or 0.2 percent, from their last close. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at $49.47 per barrel down 19 cents, or 0.4 percent, from their last settlement.

The price declines were a result of higher output in conflict-torn Libya, which was adding to a relentless rise in U.S. production. Libya's oil production is expected to rise to 800,000 barrels per day (bpd) this week, according to state-run National Oil Corporation said on Monday.
