Significant Gains at Abu-Attifel Field - PETROLEUM AFRICA

Tuesday, October 23, 2018

Libya’s NOC reported that Mellitah Oil & Gas (MOG) has made “significant gains” at the Abu-Attifel oilfield. These gains come despite the security issues and logistical constraints the company faces at the oilfield.

MOG completed operating tests for a TC5 Solar Gas Turbine on October 13. This equipment is part of an impactful low-pressure flare project increasing low-pressure well gas production which then transfers to a LNG plant. The project has succeeded in increasing condensate quantities by 2,000 bpd to 9,500 bpd and reduced the proportion of ‘off-gas’ flaring to zero.

The National Drilling and Well Maintenance Company, owned by NOC, also helped MOG complete the maintenance of well No 56, restoring it to the production of 4,800 bpd of oil and approximately 9 Mmcf/d. The maintenance of well No A49 is expected to complete before the end of the year, thereby raising production by a further 1,000 bpd.

Gas self-sufficiency to be achieved by end of 2019, says prime minister

Prime Minister Sherif Ismail called on the Minister of Petroleum to quickly complete the development projects of discovered fields in order to increase the local production of crude oil and gas, and relieve the pressure on foreign exchange resources.

During his visit to the Petroleum Ministry on Wednesday, Ismail said that Egypt will achieve natural gas self-sufficiency by the end of 2019. The prime minister stressed the importance of intensifying exploration and research works during the upcoming phase.

Ismail also stressed the importance of delivering natural gas to homes as this would improve the services offered to citizens and provide the necessary amount of butane, 50% of which is imported.
