Iran’s Oil Ministry has planned to increase output in joint oilfields that contain more than 153 billion barrels of extractable oil.
Oil Ministry Javad Owji made the statement during a visit to the oil-rich Khuzestan Province on Friday, the Oil Ministry’s news agency Shana reported.
The Oil Ministry is ready to tap the potentials of domestic and foreign investors in oil and gas projects, such that joint oil and gas fields have priority, he added.
Owji said some of the joint fields are in Khuzestan and shared with Iraq, such that oilfields in the southwestern province account for 74% of the country’s oil production.
