ICOFC's fields for foreigners based on Iran Petroleum Contract

One of major companies, offering about 30 percent of total offered oil and gas projects to foreigners in framework of new designed contact, called Iran Petroleum Contract (IPC), is Iran's Central Oil Fields Company (ICOFC).
Managing Director of ICOFC Salbali Karimi told Mehr News Agency on Dec.23 that the total value of offered projects is above 10 billion euro.
During last month, Tehran hosted 137 companies from 45 countries for a two-day conference, during which legal generalities of IPC were introduced. Iran has offered 50 hydrocarbon fields, of which 17 projects belongs to ICOFC.
Karimi said a daily average of 100,000 barrels of crude oil is currently produced in central oilfields of Iran and the figure is planned to double in two stages and reach 350,000 barrels per day by 2021.
Recalling that recoverable crude oil reserves in Iran’s central regions add up to a total of 10 billion barrels, the official said “moreover, a sum of 7 trillion cubic meters of recoverable natural gas reserves are deemed to be found in the area. However, due to the need for management of financial resources and costs, the number of active drilling rigs will decrease from 22 to 12 in the current year”.
According to detailed documents of IPC, obtained by Trend, the total oil in place of 9 onshore oil fields of ICOFC is above 16 billion stock tank barrel (BSTB) and the reserves of gas fields are above 55 BCF.

Iran in fighting with Caspian Sea pollution

Image
Iran, with its largest population on the Caspian Sea shore among other littoral countries, is keen to save the world's biggest inland body of water from pollution and has initiated a "Comprehensive plan to reduce pollution" plan. The Fars News Agency quoted the head of Department of Environment Mohammad-Javad Mohammadzadeh as saying that the plan targets preventing entry of pollutants, including household waste, especially in Gorgan and Mazandaran provinces, to the Caspian. Meanwhile, Abdolreza Karbasi, the deputy head of Environmental Protection of Iran alarmed about the ecological state of beaches, releasing warning to swimmers in the Caspian Sea. "The pollution at some parts of the sea has exceeded the authorized limit by 100 times," he said. Iranian coastal population is around 6 million people, including residents in the regions en route the rivers that flow to the Caspian, whose household waste waters enter the sea without passing through wa

U.S. Sanctions Slow Iran’s Electricity Generation And Trading

Image
By  Dalga Khatinoglu The peak electricity demand in Iran and its neighbor clients Afghanistan and Iraq happens in warm months, but during this period last year Islamic Republic’s exports plunged due to high demand at home. Its electricity imports from Armenia and especially Turkmenistan have been declining dramatically since September. This is possibly due to U.S. banking sanctions, which restrict Iran’s ability to pay its bills. During international sanctions prior to the nuclear deal (2011-2016), Iran was also unable to pay for Turkmen gas and electricity imports, running up $2bn in debts. Iran’s electricity trade during last and the previous fiscal years (GWh/month): ​ Power Generation Iran increased nominal power generation capacity by 2.3% last year; less than half of projected growth, but its actual electricity generation increased by only 1% to 312 TWh, a fifth of projected plan. The growth rate for actual power generation is far below nominal capacity, because

Iran Launches Uncompleted Gas Project Citing Suspiciously High Production

Iran’s Oil Ministry officially opened four new phases of the South Pars gas field March 17, citing production and investment figures that don’t add up. The nominal production capacity of the newly opened phases 13, 22, 23 and 24 is 113 million cubic meters per day (mcm/d), but currently they are producing about half of that. The processing units of these phases are also operating at half capacity most probably due to Iran’s technical limitations compounded by sanctions. Phase 13 is projected to produce 56 mcm of natural gas and 75,000 barrels of gas condensate (ultra-light oil) per day, when it becomes fully operational. The capacity of phases 22-24 are together equal to phase 13. The Oil Ministry said all phases will be operating at full capacity within one year. According to Oil Ministry’s statement, some $10 billion were invested in the mentioned four phases, but ministry officials put the figure at $11 billion during the inauguration ceremony, which President Hassan Rouhani
