Abstract

“Two million barrels of oil per day is the goal that the National Oil Corporation (NOC) in Libya aims to achieve as per its strategic plan announced at the beginning of 2023. The corporation instructed the companies within the sector to begin executing this plan to improve oil recovery from the fields they operate. Mellitah Oil and Gas B.V. Company Libya Branch began implementing the NOC plan in the Abu-Attifel Oil field, which aimed to enhance the productivity of well A71, where rates of oil and gas production from the well were declined due to scale accumulation caused by the high water rate associated with production. As a solution to this problem the company implemented the process of perforation extension and re-perforation as a well stimulation. In April 2024 the company succeeded to improve oil production from 560 STB/D to 2231 STB/D and increased the rate of gas production from 753 MSCF/D to 3376 MSCF/D. Additionally, the water cut (WC) decreased significantly from 63% to 28.5%.
