West Karoun Drilling Operations on Right Track

The National Iranian Drilling Company, a subsidiary of National Iranian Oil Company, has drilled 17 oil and gas wells in the West Karoun oil block since the beginning of the current Iranian year (March 21), the head of NIDC’s Planning Office said.
“Of the total wells, four were development wells and the rest were appraisal and exploratory,” ISNA also quoted Babak Zanganeh as saying.
The wells were drilled in oilfields managed by the National Iranian South Oil Company, the Iranian Offshore Oil Company and the Petroleum Engineering and Development Company in West Karoun that includes several large oilfields straddling the Iran-Iraq border, namely Azadegan, Yaran, Yadavaran and Darkhoein, with the first three divided into north and south projects.
