Waha Oil Company restores Q27-71 well, adding 480 barrels of oil per day

The well had been out of service since January 2018 due to the failure and entrapment of its Electric Submersible Pump ESP and other equipment. The incident led to the loss of 101 joints of 3.5-inch production tubing, the ESP unit, and approximately 3,250 feet of flat power cable. In June 2026, the Drilling and Well Maintenance Department, using the "Fayyad Barqan 9" rig and in collaboration with Al-Duroob Company, began "fishing" operations.

Technical teams successfully retrieved all trapped equipment and completed the well's rehabilitation. This achievement is expected to add approximately 480 barrels of oil per day, boosting output and supporting the company's production sustainability plans.
