A subsidiary of Libya’s NOC, Arabian Gulf Oil Co. (AGOCO) has restored some of its production. According to NOC, the production was added by restoring anold well on the Messla field.
NOC said that its subsidiary restored production at a well that had been abandoned for 16 years. Agoco’s General Department of Production used the latest drilling techniques and Schlumberger’s Geo-Sphere mapping technology on this project.
A statement on the NOC website said,“Thanks to the efforts and dedication of the engineers, and implementation of the ‘Drilling and Measurements’ service at Schlumberger Oilfield Service, well HH86-65 in the Mesla oil field is once again in use.” AGOCO is the first company in Africa to use the Schlumberger technology.
The HH86-65 well is currently producing at a rate of 3,000 bpd.
According to NOC chairman Eng. Mustafa Sanalla: “This initiative embodies the dedication of our staff to optimize production across operations and utilize the best of cutting-edge technology. Libya continues to represent a unique opportunity for international partners to add value and help secure our economic future.”
