Libya’s state National Oil Corporation (NOC) announced today that last Monday (8 July), the operation of the new pipeline from the North Hamada oil field of the Nafusa Oil Operations Company began. The NOC said the field’s production flowed to the Mellitah oil port through the Al-Feel – Mellitah oil pipeline for a distance of 250 km.
The process of pumping crude oil from the main tanks to the receiving point at the end of the line began with the agreed operational pressures and the operation process was regular and safe, it added.
This, the NOC explained, is after the completion of the filling of the new shipping line in the North Hamada field on 18 May, and the signing of an agreement for the transport, handling and shipment of crude oil through the Al Feel-Mellitah field line by Mellitah Oil and Gas and Nafusa Oil Operations.
The NOC said that in the coming days, the production of the field will gradually increase by placing ready wells successively on the treatment plant and then the shipping line, where five wells (C-1, B-1, F-1, J-1, D-1) will be placed to reach production of 8,000 barrels per day before mid-July, and will increase to reach 10,000 barrels per day next August, which is the programme of the first phase of the development of the field.
