Libya’s Waha Oil Company announced that it has drilled and developed 38 oil wells so far this year, as part of a comprehensive plan targeting 52 wells in 2025 aimed at boosting national production and enhancing operational efficiency.
In a statement, the company said that the Drilling and Well Maintenance Department at Waha Field has made “significant progress” in implementing its 2025 operational plan. The program aligns with the National Oil Corporation’s (NOC) strategic goals to increase output and improve technical performance across the sector.
According to the statement, the operational plan includes drilling and maintaining 52 wells this year. “So far, 38 development wells have been completed, while drilling continues on nine additional wells using nine active rigs in the field,” the company explained.
On the maintenance side, 14 rigs are currently in operation, including four dedicated to well completions and ten for maintenance work.
The Drilling and Well Maintenance Department consists of several technical and administrative units that work in coordination to ensure smooth operations — including the Office of the Department Head, Drilling Supervisors’ Offices, Landmark Office, Invoice Review Office, Personnel Affairs Office, and the technical workshop responsible for rig performance monitoring and routine maintenance.
The company added that daily meetings are held to review progress, including evening sessions to assess daytime performance and plan night operations, addressing rig needs, logistics, and coordination with other departments and contractors to ensure uninterrupted workflow.
Waha Oil emphasized that this progress reflects the department’s commitment to achieving its 2025 operational targets, stabilizing field operations, and contributing to increased oil production and higher technical and operational efficiency, in line with the highest standards of safety and quality.
