Development Plans Underway to Increase Ilam Crude Production

The development of Danan Oilfield in Ilam Province is underway and so far the drilling of four wells out of 11 have been completed and the field’s production has increased to 14,000 barrels per day, managing director of the Iranian Central Oil Fields Company said.
“Three more wells will be completed by the end of April, raising the production capacity to 17,000 bpd,” IRNA also quoted Ali Rezaei as saying.
Located along Iran’s border with Iraq, Danan was discovered in 2007 and started production in 2014. It is operated by ICOFC.
The oil extracted from the field is delivered to the Dehloran Refinery through pipeline. After being sweetened, it is pumped through a 52-kilometer pipeline to the Cheshmeh-Khosh desalination unit.
