DOHA, April 13 (Reuters) - Oil fields controlled by rebels trying to overthrow Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi are producing 100,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil but only a "minimal amount" is being exported, a rebel spokesman said on Wednesday.
The rebels have managed to export some 1 million barrels of crude this month with the aid of Gulf Arab state Qatar but have not received any cash for the crude, said Mahmud Awad Shammam, press secretary for Libyan National Council.
Meetings of the Libya Contact Group were about to start in Qatar for talks on Libya's future, and will include representatives of the Libya National Council rebel group.
The group will ask Western governments to provide $1.5 billion in aid to help meet the needs of civilians in rebel-controlled areas and would like to arrange to receive humanitarian aid in return for oil shipments, Shammam said. (Reporting by John Irish and Humeyra Pamuk; writing by Reed Stevenson.
