Trade Arabia cited Dr Abdulhussain Mirza energy minister of Bahrain as saying that the Bahrain Field is on fast track to drill 3,600 new wells over the next 20 years as Tatweer Petroleum Company continues to expand the oil and gas production capacity for the kingdom.

He visited the site in the Bahrain Field near Jebel El Dukhan accompanied by the executive management of Tatweer Petroleum and other guests from National Oil and Gas Authority and Bapco. The well has been successfully drilled and put on production.

He said that with the ongoing technology innovation, Tatweer aims to enhance the oil recovery processes. Bahrain's first oil well was drilled in 1931 and since the handover of the Bahrain Field operations in December 2009, Tatweer Petroleum has drilled more than 200 oil and gas wells.

The prolific Bahrain Oil Field is witnessing a resurgence of activity and investment, as production levels are being increased to achieve the planned target which will indeed contribute to the kingdom's prosperity and employment opportunities.
