Tank maintenance at Sharara almost complete

| ,

An engineer working at the Sharara field in southwest Libya said today, Tuesday, that major progress had been made in the maintenance operations on one of the two main tanks in block 115. The source told Libya Energy that the works were 90 percent complete, compared to 75 percent last month. He added that the tank, with a capacity of 100,000 barrels, is expected to be fully operational again within two weeks to a month. 

He also said that its reinstatement would help production to be increased in line with the plans for Sharara’s output  to  reach 300,000 b/d  by the end of 2024.  This would also be done by continuing to drill new wells, he noted.
