A new pipeline from the North Hamada oil field in Libya, developed by the Libyan National Oil Corporation (NOC)’s subsidiary, Nafusa Oil Operations, has commenced operations. On July 8, the field’s production began flowing to the Mellitah oil port through the 250 km Al-Feel – Mellitah oil pipeline.
In May 2024, state-owned Mellitah Oil and Gas and Nafusa Oil Operations signed an agreement for the transport, handling, and shipment of crude oil via the Al-Feel – Mellitah pipeline and completed a new shipping line.
Production from the field will gradually increase, reaching 8,000 barrels per day by mid-July and 10,000 barrels per day by next August. Over the past few months, NOC has been revitalizing and rehabilitating several production sites with the goal of achieving a production rate of 2 million barrels per day by 2030.
