Background

The A & E Structures, Mellitah Complex Expansion and CO2 Management Integrated Development Project combines a number of developments offshore and onshore Libya.

Structure A is located in the central part of Block NC41, approximately 75 km from the Libyan coast in a water depth ranging from 93 to 145m. 

The development envisages the exploitation of the gas and associated condensate from the formations through a wellhead fixed platform located in 96 m water depth at approximately 79 km from the onshore Mellitah Complex.

Structure E is located in the central-eastern part of Block NC41, approximately 125 km from the Libyan coast in a water depth ranging from 205 to 235m.

The development envisages the exploitation of the gas, associated condensate and oil from the formations through a wellhead and production fixed platform located in 200 m water depth at approximately 125 km from the onshore Mellitah Complex.

Brief  Introduction

The development is based on:

①Installation of a new wellhead platform at Structure A (WHPA);

②A new trenched multiphase sealine (18”) 43 km from A Structure platform to Sabratha Platform;Installation of a new Production Platform at Structure E (PPE);

③Drill, complete and tie-back 3 Subsea gas production wells to PPE;

④A new trenched multiphase sealine (6”) 16 km from West subsea cluster to North subsea cluster;A new trenched multiphase sealine (12”) 7 km from North subsea cluster to PPE;A new gas sealine (30”) 130 km long from PPE to Mellitah;A new condensate/oil sealine (10”) 130 km long from PPE to Mellitah;

⑤Sabratha Platform modification to receive and handle the production from A Structure;

⑥A new 4th gas processing train at Mellitah and 3rd condensate train complete with all associtaed utilities;

⑦CO2 management train (dehydration and Compression) in Mellitah Complex;

⑧A new CO2 sealine (16”) 110 km long to deliver and inject CO2 from Mellitah to Bahr Essalam Field;

Company behavior

Mellitah Oil & Gas B.V. (MOG) plans to deploy 31 wells in two favorable structural belts (A and E) in Block NC41. The drilling work is scheduled to start in September 2020 and be completed in 2024.
