Nafusah Oil Operations has given Foster Wheeler and Taknia Libya Engineering Company a front-end engineering design (Feed) contract for the Area 47 development project. The planned development on the North Hamada field will consist of about 34 producing wells, including 11 existing wells and about 23 new wells, flowlines and a common gathering trunkline to transport the well fluids to the central gas oil separation facility for primary treatment. After separation, the oil and gas produced will be exported through new pipelines connected into existing pipelines carrying products to the Mellitah delivery terminal on the Mediterranean coast, for export.
