Masirah Oil Ltd. (MOL) has resumed production from Yumna field, offshore Oman.

Production had been halted beginning Aug. 9, 2023, due to a confirmed leak on the flexible flowline from the mobile offshore production unit (MOPU) to the floating, storage and offloading unit (FSO).

A larger flowline has been installed and production resumed on Sept. 3., the company said in a release Sept. 11. Maintenance work on the MOPU, originally scheduled for November 2023, was carried out while production was stopped.

The company is currently executing gas-lift operations expected to increase production from the Yumna-3 well (OGJ Online, Jan. 10, 2023).
