Libya’s Bahr Essalam Phase 2 development onstream

Libya’s National Oil Corporation (NOC) and Italy’s Eni report that their 50:50 joint venture Mellitah Oil & Gas has started production from the first well of the offshore Bahr Essalam Phase 2 project. Two further wells will begin production shortly, with an additional seven due to be commissioned by October 2018.

Gas is produced through the Sabratha platform to the Mellitah onshore treatment plant, before principally being used to supply the national network.

Phase 2 of the project completes the development of the largest offshore producing gas field in Libya, increasing production potential by 400mn cf/d of gas and bringing total field production to 1,100mn cf/d. Bahr Essalam is estimated to hold over 260bn cm of gas.
