AGOCO's HH91-65 well in Masala field returns to production with 2,400 bpd
The company said this comes within the framework of the National Oil Corporation's (NOC) plan to increase production rates.
AGOCO said its national cadres, represented by engineers from the Reservoir Engineering, Drilling and Production Departments, in cooperation with KAMCO and Baker Hughes, were able to carry out a guided drilling and re-entry process using modern technologies (VisiTrak), which resulted in raising the production from 169 barrels per day with an associated water ratio of 80%, to 2,400 barrels of oil per day with an associated water ratio of 0%.
The company said this success confirms its ability to invest its national expertise and advanced technologies in achieving quality results, which contribute to supporting the NOC's plans to increase production and achieve sustainability.

Libya's state Arabian Gulf Oil Company (AGOCO) announced last Wednesday (13 August) that it has realised a new technical achievement represented in the return of the HH91-65 well in the Masala field to production at a substantially high rate of 2,400 bpd, after its production was limited in the past.

Sonatrach commercial oil discovery in Ghadames Basin to yield 4,200 bpd: NOC
Libya's state National Oil Corporation (NOC) reported last Tuesday (12 August) that Algeria's Sonatrach commercial oil discovery in the Ghadames Basin is expected to yield 4,200 barrels per day (bpd). Three strategic wells for Sonatrach by National Oil Well Drilling Company In the same context, the NOC announced that its National Oil Well Drilling and Maintenance Company (NWD) started moving its Rig No. 11 to the work site to carry out the drilling of three strategic wells for Sonatrach Cybex Company using IPM integrated drilling, in partnership with a group of international and local companies. NWD The NOC said its Chairman praised the great role played by the NWD and the work team in charge of negotiation, which resulted in strategic partnerships that enhance the position of the NWD as a reliable and effective partner in major drilling projects, especially in the integrated projects management system that keeps pace with international standards. This achievement, the NOC reported, is the culmination of a series of recent successes by NWD in recommissioning and reintegrating the No. 13, 12 and 33 rigs into the company's fleet, reflecting its commitment to maintaining the readiness of all rigs and enhancing their operational capability to increase performance efficiency, increase the company's revenues and enhance its competitiveness in the local markets. Sonatrach's A-65/2 well – EPSA 2008 It will be recalled that Sonatrach had obtained a license to explore and share production in the public tender round (EPSA) held in 2008, resulting in the commercialization of the A-65/2 oil discovery in the Ghadames basin. This is now in preparation for the start of the development process and putting it on production as soon as possible to achieve production rates exceeding 4,000 bpd. The NOC said these activities come within the framework of its continuous endeavour to increase Libya's oil and gas reserves.

Libya's NOC signs memorandum of understanding with ExxonMobil after decade of inactivity
Aug 4 (Reuters) - Libya's National Oil Corporation said on Monday it signed a memorandum of understanding with U.S. oil giant ExxonMobil (XOM.N), opens new tab after a decade of activity halt in the North African country due to security reasons. NOC in a statement said the MoU focuses on conducting detailed geological and geophysical studies to identify the hydrocarbon resources in four offshore blocks located off the northwest coast and the country's Sirte Basin. In 2013, ExxonMobil, the world's largest publicly-traded energy company, decided to cut back its staff and operations in Libya as growing instability no longer justified a major presence. The company's decision then came amid growing concern among international oil companies that the returns on offer in Libya may not justify the security and political risks that had grown since the 2011 uprisings that swept the Middle East. Libya's oil output has been disrupted repeatedly in the chaotic decade since 2014, when the country divided between two rival authorities in the east and west following the NATO-backed uprising that toppled Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
