Libya’s state National Oil Corporation (NOC) and Russia’s Tatneft Oil Company (Libya Branch) announced a new oil discovery yesterday.

TATNEFT is the operator of the contract area 4/82 as a second party through the Exploration and Production Sharing Agreement (EPSA IV) with the NOC signed in December 2005.

The new oil discovery is in contract area 04/82 located in the Ghadames basin through drilling and testing the exploratory well 1-82/4 (F1-82/4).

The Media Office of the NOC confirmed in an exclusive interview with Libya Herald that the exploration well was drilled at a total depth of 8,500 feet within the Ghadames oil basin located about 330 km southwest of Tripoli.

Pointing out that, according to what was announced by the Russian Tatanft Company, the achieved flow rate is 1,870 barrels of oil per day from Devonian and Ordovician sandstone through a certain suffocating volume in accordance with Libyan legislation.
