NOC, Libya’s state-run oil and gas firm, reported that the Wafa field’s gas compression project is almost complete. The project is part of the state-run company’s efforts to secure target quantities of natural gas and the optimal utilization of reserves available on the Wafa field located on NC-169.
The project, undertaken by the field’s operator, Mellitah Oil and Gas Co. (MOGCO), calls for the installation of four new gas compressors. The new compressors will be used to compensate for the low pressure of the reservoir and to stimulate wells to produce additional quantities of gas.
The completion of operating tests for gas compressor D and the first fire of it was scheduled to take place on October 28 and the first gas flows from compressor D are expected on November 4. Operating tests and gas production from the second compressor C are expected to complete by mid-November, two weeks after the first compressor is operational.
The additional quantity of gas resulting from the start up of the first compressor is estimated between 25 and 30 Mmcf/d. NOC estimates that this additional quantity of gas will increase to between 70 and 80 Mmcf/d following the operation of the second compressor, and up to 100 Mmcf/d following the third. According to the project implementation plan, the third and fourth compressors A and B will become operational in February and March 2019 respectively.
