The Faregh field development Phase 2 is to boost daily production capacity to a quarter-billion cubic feet of gas and 15,000 barrels of condensates
In an important step toward achieving the production targets of the National Oil Corporation (NOC), Waha Oil Company (WOC) announced the beginning of operating tests of the Phase 2 of the Faregh field development project, starting on Wednesday, October 23, 2019 to pump gas to the Intisar 103 field. At a later date, gas will be shipped to the coastal network, to which the field is connected. This step is a significant achievement of NOC and WOC to serve Libyans and the national economy.
Faregh’s gas will be used to increase the efficiency of crude oil production at the Intisar 103 field and could supply the power plants in the Eastern Region, replacing subsidized liquid fuel, a measure that is both cost-saving and environmentally friendly. The project will also increase gas supply to methanol plants and the Libyan Norwegian Fertilizer Company (LifeCo) in Marsa El Brega.
NOC is awaiting the General Company for Gas Transmission & Distribution’s completion of gas pipeline installations to connect the Faregh field with the Sarir power plant, carried out in collaboration with Petrojet, an Egyptian company.
