Details of Iran Offshore Oil Company's offered fields for foreigners


The Managing Director of the Iranian Offshore Oil Company (IOOC) Saeid Hafezi announced Dec.8 that the company's priorities are to sign an agreement with foreigners on development of Salman and Foroozan in framework of new designed agreement called Iran Petroleum Contract (IPC).
IOOC's major goals are improving the recovery rate as well as protective production, Hafezi told the Shana Iranian news agency.
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, including 21 gas fields.
IOOC has offered 5 oil fields, with more than 37 billion stock tank barrels as well as 2 gas fields with about 17 trillion cubic feet of gas reserves in framework of IPC to foreigners.
Oil reserves of these fields share about 18 percent of total reserves, (29 oil fields with 210 billion stock tank barrels reservoirs), offered in framework of Iran Petroleum Contract.
All of oil projects of IOOC are brown fields and the estimated final production level is to be proposed by contractors.

Salman oil field:
Though Iran hasn't specified the estimated final production level, but currently the country produces 47,000 barrels per day from three layers of this field, while it's expected to increase this volume to 70,000 barrels per day.
Currently 4 production platforms, one wellhead platform, 2 gas lift platforms, one process platform and 2 quarter platforms exist in this field, 43 producing and 13 water injection wells are active. Some 1.661 billion barrels of oil have been produced from this field.
Foroozan oil field:
Iran has been producing oil from Foroozan for four decades, and the total cumulative production volume has reached 770 million barrels so far. Currently 27,000 barrels per day of crude oil are produced from 66 wells of six layers of this field.
Iran and Saudi Arabia jointly own this field and Iran's share in total reserves of the field is about 11 percent.
Though Iran hasn't specified the estimated final production level of this field on IPC documents, the country has planned to extract more than 65,000 barrels of oil per day from this field.

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 in fighting with Caspian Sea pollution

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

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
