Sirte Oil, a subsidiary of Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC), has successfully drilled two horizontal wells in the Zelten and Wadi fields, leveraging advanced real-time reservoir mapping technology.
These developments are expected to enhance production capacity by 2,300 barrels per day (BPD), pushing Sirte Oil’s total output beyond the 100,000 BPD milestone.
The first well, C355H-6, located in the Zelten field, was completed as part of the initial phase of Sirte Oil’s 2024 exceptional production increase plan. Evaluation tests indicate a production potential exceeding 1,200 BPD.
The second well, D27H-149, drilled in the Wadi field, targets the M reservoir and is estimated to contribute an additional 1,100 BPD to the company’s output.
The successful implementation of real-time reservoir mapping technology underscores Sirte Oil’s commitment to utilizing cutting-edge techniques to optimize extraction efficiency.
These advancements align with Libya’s broader goals to increase hydrocarbon production and strengthen its role in the global energy market.
By completing these wells, Sirte Oil not only achieves a significant production milestone but also sets a strong precedent for future developments within Libya’s oil sector.
