Waha field is an oil field located in the Libya sirte basin[1] and owned by the Waha Oil Company (WOC), which is a subsidiary of the National Oil Corporation (NOC). During 2006, the Waha fields produced around 350,000 barrels (56,000 m3) per day, down from around 1 Mbbl/d (160,000 m3/d) in 1969 and 400,000 bbl/d (64,000 m3/d) in 1986. However, WOC expects to increase Waha output by around 200,000 bbl/d (32,000 m3/d) over the next couple of years. In 2005, ConocoPhillips and co-venturers reached an agreement with NOC to both return to its operations in Libya and to extend the Waha concession by another 25 years. ConocoPhillips operates the Waha fields with a 16.33% share in the project. NOC has the largest share of the Waha concession at 59.17%, and additional partners include Marathon Oil (16.33%), and Amerada Hess (8.17%).[2] The Waha oil field was captured by Isis soldiers on March 5th 2015.[3][4]
