Drilling Operations at Arash Gas Field to Start Soon

Iran will start drilling operations at the Arash gas field in the Persian Gulf in the near future, Oil Minister Javad Owji said.
“Comprehensive studies on the joint Arash field have been completed and the drilling of wells will begin as soon as the jacket is installed there,” Owji was quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry’s news agency Shana.
Arash gas field is a joint field Iran shares with Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. It is called al-Durra field by the two Arab countries.
Last week, Saudi Energy Minister Abdul Aziz bin Salman and his Kuwaiti counterpart Mohammed Abdul Latif al-Fars signed a document on the development of the field.
