The total number of drilled oil and gas wells numbers 1,100 of which 800 are productive wells. Waha implements annual programs for developmental, vertical, and horizontal drilling and evaluation of well performance, together with the execution of reservoir and mechanical maintenance to ensure productivity enhancement. Reservoir depths range from 3,000 to 7,500 feet for the developmental wells and 15,000 feet for exploration wells. The deepest well in the Jamahiriya drilled by Waha was 19,210 feet in depth.

The accompanying gas produced during crude oil operation is seen to be one of cleanest sources of energy. For this reason, it is used by the company for the operation of various facilities both in production and services. Examples of its usage by the company include the operation of gas turbines to generate 157.5 megawatt of electricity which is then transmitted via 830 km of high voltage lines and the re-injection of the gas into wells to maintain reservoir pressure.

Waha has also established gas liquidation plants in a number of its oil fields. Part of the natural gas is shipped to local and foreign markets through pipelines connecting Waha 59 and Zelten oil fields to Sirte Oil company for oil and gas processing and production. Waha oil transmission lines extend from gathering, processing and pumping stations to Essider Terminal for global export. Companies such as Wintershall, Al-Khaleej Al-Arabi, Zueitina and Total use the Waha oil and gas transmission facilities for the shipment of the oil and gas which they produce.
