On the occasion of a working and inspection visit to the wilaya on Wednesday, he commissioned several projects under his sector, including a base of life for the benefit of workers in the regional directorate of In Amenas, relating to the activity of transport by pipeline, with a capacity of 126 workers. This infrastructure includes rooms, a canteen, leisure areas and other structures made to the standards in force, to ensure comfort and well-being for workers and improve their conditions. The delegation visited the regional directorate of the TFT production department, relating to the exploration and production activity, where it listened to an exhaustive technical presentation on the management and development of zones, as well as on the progress of production operations at the TFT field, which constitutes one of the strategic axes of the national hydrocarbon production system.
The field has 23 separation centers, four storage and shipping centers, an associated gas processing unit, a power plant, a power plant, two water production and injection centers, as well as vital structures, with a production capacity of 54,000 barrels/crude oil, and 5.2 million cubic meters of associated gas, including 2.4 million cubic meters/gas day intended for export. In this context, the company NAFTAL presented a presentation on the fuel distribution activity in the wilaya of Illizi, through five service stations and two aviation centers, in addition to diesel, unleaded petrol and sirgaz, which makes it possible to meet growing demand on petroleum products in the wilaya of Illizi, reported the ministry.
