Libya has recorded a significant increase in oil and gas production following a series of maintenance operations at its Abu Attifel field, the National Oil Corporation (NOC) announced.
Gas production from the Abu Attifel field, operated by Mellitah Oil & Gas, rose from 4,261 to 5,582 million cubic feet per day, while wellhead pressure also increased significantly to 1,000 PSI, indicating that the well has returned to full production capacity.
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- and impurity-free production.
These achievements are part of the NOC’s strategic plan to boost production levels and maximize the country’s resources.
They also highlight the effectiveness of national teams in executing maintenance and optimization programs, ensuring the long-term sustainability of operations and supporting the sector’s ambitious targets.
Experts note that the improvements at Abu Attifel are expected to contribute significantly to Libya’s overall oil and gas output, reinforcing the country’s position as a key energy supplier in the region.
The enhanced production capacity is also likely to attract renewed foreign investment and strengthen Libya’s economic stability.
The NOC emphasized that ongoing maintenance programs, technological upgrades, and skilled workforce development remain critical components of its strategy to meet both domestic energy demands and international market commitments.
