The National Oil Corporation NOC reported yesterday that its Exploration and Drilling Departments held a preparatory meeting with officials from the consortium of Eni, BP, and the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) to discuss the steps for drilling Libya’s first deepwater exploratory well. Representatives from major international service companies were also present.
The meeting, held at the NOC’s Tripoli headquarters, focused on the operational mechanism and implementation steps for the exploratory well, scheduled to be drilled in January. This well, the first of its kind in deep waters in Libya, will reach a depth of approximately 1,900 meters in offshore Block 38/3, located 170 kilometres off the Libyan coast.
The meeting included a review of operational scenarios and readiness requirements, as well as the capabilities of the participating service companies to ensure the work is carried out according to the highest technical and occupational safety standards.
