Waha Oil Company (WOC) announced today that it had successfully completed the drilling, testing, and commissioning of gas wells BB19 and BB20 in Al-Faregh Field.
The early connection of the two gas wells was made possible by utilizing NOV Fiberspar RTP pipe (Fiberspar) as the mechanical flowline for both these gas wells. Under the supervision of NOV- Certified Installers, arranged by Zulal Oil and Water Services, WOC was able to deploy Fiberspar at speeds >1.1km per day at Al-Faregh. The specific Fiberspar pipe used was 6’’, 1500psi rated.
Waha reported that well BB19 recorded a daily production rate of 14 million cubic feet of gas, along with 770 barrels of condensate, while well BB20 produced approximately 12 million cubic feet of gas and 840 barrels of condensate, using a 64/32 production choke.
This achievement reflects National Oil Corporation (NOC) directives at increasing production rates, and particularly, WOC’s aim to increase the national gas production at Al-Faregh Field – Phase Two. Al-Faregh is the primary source of gas for the Sarir power plant, in addition to its vital role in supplying the coastal network with natural gas to meet the local demand.

Zulal Water Technology (ZWT) is pleased to announce that it has been awarded an EPIC contract by Waha Oil Company (WOC) for a Drinking Water Treatment Plant at Dahra Field with design capacity of 900m³/day and operational capacity of 600m³/day. WOC’s Dahra field has been in urgent need for the new water treatment plant, as the field do not have a drinking water plant, currently.
Dahra’s well water is extremely difficult to treat, with high salinity (TDS > 21000ppm) comparable to sea water, despite being in the Sahara Desert. High levels of H2S and iron pose additional challenges and therefore the project is highly specialised and requires substantial technical expertise.
WOC, one of Libya’s largest oil-producers, undertook a competitive procurement process and detailed technical evaluation before awarding the contract to ZWT. The project is on a fully turnkey basis, including pre-treatment, H2S degassing, iron and colloids removal, RO desalination, post-treatment, with HV transformer and dedicated diesel generator, a prefabricated steel building designed and manufactured by REIDsteel (UK), and supply of dosing chemicals from Genesys (UK). The new plant will be in line with 5 previous RO water plants manufactured by Lenntech, and these EPIC projects were completed on-time by ZWT, for WOC at their Waha field, Gialo field, Essider terminal, and Warehouse in Tripoli.
Mr. Iftikhar ul Haq, Director ZWT, who started his career in Libya almost 40 years ago with Ionics at Dahra’s first water plant, said: “The peculiar nature of Dahra well-water makes it difficult to design a suitable plant. However, our previous experience of Dahra, combined with the technical expertise of our engineering team, will enable us to use the latest technologies to provide WOC with an optimal solution for their water needs.”
ZWT team has 35+ years of unmatched experience of completing over 100 water treatment projects in Libya.
