A technical team from the Sirte Oil Company has managed to resume production from the C258H-6 well, which stopped since 2013 in the Zaltan field, located in the Libyan oil crescent close to the Gulf of Sidra, announced Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC).
In a statement released on Friday on its official Facebook page, NOC said the well’s productivity reached 3,326 barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil, without accompanying water, after completing its work.
“The well was closed due to its weak production and the large amount of water that accompanied it, which exceeded 97 percent of the Zaltan layer,” the NOC said, adding “the well was maintained using the Workover Rig through which the layer that produced water was isolated”.
