Mellitah Oil & Gas has restarted gas production from the Sabratha platform, offshore Libya.
The Sabratha platform produces gas from the Bahr Essalam field, and is located in the Mediterranean Sea, 110km north-west of Tripoli.
The gas volumes will be processed at the Mellitah treatment plant complex, and will be transported to Italy through the Greenstream pipeline.
Production will start at around five million cubic metres per day and will gradually increase to reach 13 million cubic metres per day, when all 15 wells on the platform reopen.
Furthermore, production will also be increased when the subsea wells come onstream in 2012.
