Eni and BP have resumed their exploration activities in Lib-ya after halting drilling operations in the onshore region since 2014. Meanwhile, Repsol is preparing to restart drill-ing in Murzuq Basin, and OMV is set to begin operations in Sirte Basin in the coming weeks.
On Saturday, October 26, Eni began its exploration activities in the Area B (96/3) of Ghadames Basin, where the first exploratory well, A1-96/3 (Hasheem Prospect), was drilled.
The A1-96/3 well is the first under the contractual obligations for the Area B in Ghadames Basin, according to the Fourth Bid Round Contract of 2007. Eni operates the area in partnership with BP and the Libyan Investment Authority.
Mellitah Oil & Gas, with its experience in the region, particularly in developing and managing the Wafa field, is overseeing the drilling operations and all related activities for this well.
Several promising geological formations in the A1-96/3 well are set to be tested, with expectations that they will contain both oil and gas. The well is projected to reach a final depth of approximately 10 327 ft (3147 m). The A1-96/3 well is located about 35 km from the Wafa field and approximately 650 km from the capital, Tripoli.
