On January 5 the technical teams at Waha Oil Company completed the maintenance operations of the main 32-inch oil transmission line connecting the Al-Samah – Al-Dhahra fields to ESidra port at the points 70 km and 71 km. The maintenance work was non-stop around the clock for two consecutive days.
The work was completed ahead of schedule and the task was accomplished within two days instead of a week, which contributed to a reduction in losses from the halt in production. The original estimated loss was tagged at about one million barrels so a significant savings in revenue was realized as a result of the fast turnaround time by the Waha maintenance crew.
