New Well Operational at Forouzan Oil Field

The first well as a part of the development program of Forouzan offshore oilfield in the Persian Gulf has become operational, director of the field development project at the Iranian Offshore Oil Company said.
“Due to the priority given to developing border and joint fields, the project to increase output from the field has gained speed and the first well started production on April 20,” ILNA quoted Shahram Motevasel as saying.
This is the first well among the total eight planned to raise output in the field. After completion of digging the well, the drilling rig was transferred to another location for drilling to continue, Motevasel said.
A production well is used to extract oil or gas from subsurface deposits. Production wells are drilled deep into the earth directly into oil or gas rich deposits contained in underground formations.
