Iran Discovers New Oilfield in Southwest, 2nd Iran Gas Forum Opens in Tehran
Iran Discovers New Oilfield in Southwest
June 15, 2008
TEHRAN (FNA)-
Iran has discovered an oilfield with estimated reserves of 750
million barrels within its southwestern Jofeir oilfield, Oil Minister
Gholam Hossein Nozari said on Saturday.
"We have done new drilling in Jofeir and have discovered a new oilfield
with an in-place reserve of 750 million barrels," the oil ministry's
news website SHANA quoted Nozari as saying.
Nozari said with the new discovery Jofeir's output would reach 33,000
barrels per day, from the 25,000 barrels previously reported.
OPEC member Iran has in the past put its oil reserves at 138 billion
barrels.
Iran, the world's fourth largest crude oil exporter, said in September
it had signed a $450 million contract with Belarus for Minsk to extract
40,000 barrels of oil per day from its Jofeir oilfield.
2nd Iran Gas Forum Opens in Tehran
June 15, 2008
TEHRAN (FNA)-
The two-day conference of the '2nd Iran Gas Forum' opened here in
Tehran on Saturday.
The opening session of the Forum was attended by Iran's Oil Minister
Gholam Hossein Nozari and Deputy Minister and Managing Director of the
National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) Reza Kasaeezadeh.
In his inaugural speech, Nozari pointed to Iran's regional and
international role in market supply, and said Nabucco gas pipeline would
be meaningless without Iran's participation.
He also stressed the need for Iran to increase its share of the world
gas market to 10%, saying that the goal, which is high on the agenda of
his ministry, could be attained by adjusting the country's domestic
consumption.
"If we mange our natural gas resource well we can have a more serious
role in the economic development of the country and in creating a
booming industry," he said.
The '2nd Iran Gas Forum', attended by the country's high-ranking
officials, energy specialists and experts, aims to help Iran secure an
additional market share by enhancing the available information on both
energy investment and growing global gas demands.
The conference also seeks to provide a proper framework for gas-related
research and development activities.
Among the topics scheduled to go under discussion at the gathering are
industrial management, gas exploration and production, refining
processes and treatment, transmission and distribution, methods of
supply in consumption peaks, optimization of consumption, industrial
protection and corrosion.
Human resources, executive management and strategic planning as well as
health, safety and the environment are also on the agenda of the
conference.
