Ras Lanuf and the nearby oil port of Es Sider have come under attack from Daesh militants this week.
Earlier in the day, a car bomb exploded at a military training camp in the Libyan city of Zliten, killing 70. More than 100 people were on hand for a military training exercise.
Daesh claimed responsibility for that attack, al-Hadath television channel reported.
The bombings come on the one-year anniversary of fatal attacks carried out by Daesh-inspired militants in France. Two gunmen killed 17 people at the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo magazine and at a Jewish supermarket.
