The National Oil Corporation (NOC) said on Sunday it would conduct a comprehensive maintenance of the Mellitah industrial complex and the Bahr Al-Salam and Wafa fields.
The Mellitah Oil and Gas Company indicated, in a statement, that the Head of the NOC, Farhat Bengdara, has given the green light to start the process of completely halting operations at the complex and the two fields to start maintenance. The Chairman of the Management Committee of the NOC and the accompanying delegation visited the Mellitah complex and the Sabratha platform.
The Mellitah complex is located about 22 kilometers east of the city of Zuwara, and it consists of two plants, the first for processing oil and condensate produced from the Al-Wafa field, and the second for processing gas and condensate produced from the Sabratha platform.
