The Arabian Gulf Oil Company (AGOCO), fully owned by the National Oil Corporation (NOC), has drilled the FF2-47 well to a total depth of 7270 feet and tested oil from the Lidam Formation.
The well is located in Sirte Basin approximately 80 km south west of Marada Town.

Note: The FF1-47 exploration well was drilled in 1971 and the results were not encouraging where only 65 bbls of oil were recovered and hence it was not considered as a discovery at the time.
