The Arabian Gulf Oil Company confirmed on Sunday that an oil well in the Messla field has resumed production, achieving an actual output of 2,104 barrels of oil per day. This aligns with the company’s plan to boost production rates.
In a statement, the company highlighted the successful transformation of well HH59-65, previously classified as a non-producing observation well, into a productive asset after a hiatus of two years and eight months.
This achievement was made possible through the efforts of Libyan engineers from the reservoir engineering, drilling, and production departments, utilizing directional drilling and reentry techniques.
The company further elaborated that the well’s return to operation not only signifies a substantial increase in its daily oil production but also demonstrates a significant accomplishment in enhancing the overall production rates at the Messla oil field.
With a mere 3% associated water, this milestone underscores the company’s commitment to leveraging local expertise and advanced technologies to sustain and increase its oil production capabilities.
Earlier this month, Farhat Bengdara, the head of Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC), chaired a meeting of the General Assembly of Mabrouk Oil Operations at the headquarters of the Arabian Gulf Oil Company in Benghazi, attended by board members.
The NOC’s head projected the return of the Mabrouk oil field to production within this year, following its rehabilitation. The field had suffered damage due to conflicts in the region over the past years.
