Mellitah Oil & Gas announced yesterday ‘‘outstanding production results’’ at its Abu Attifel field, following a series of maintenance operations carried out by its specialized technical teams. These operations included water locking and re-perforation, which directly contributed to increased production efficiency and improved operational performance.
Well A71
These operations included well A71, where operational data revealed a significant increase in production indicators after the maintenance work. Oil production jumped from 1,864 to 2,607 barrels per day, while gas production rose from 4,261 to 5,582 million cubic feet per day. The wellhead pressure also saw a notable increase, reaching 1,000 PSI, reflecting the well’s return to full production capacity.
Well KK-1
In a related development, technical teams successfully restarted the KK-1 well, which had been completely shut down, following a successful scale removal operation. The well is now producing 1,187 barrels of oil and 2.715 million cubic feet of gas per day, with water-free and impurity-free production.
The NOC said these achievements are part of its strategic plans to increase production levels and maximize the country’s resources. They also reflect the efficiency of national personnel in implementing maintenance and improvement programmes to ensure the sustainability of operational performance and achieve the sector’s ambitious goals.
