Oil Production in Flood-Hit Khuzestan Normalizes

Oil production in flood-hit Khuzestan Province in the southwest is back to normal, the managing director of National Iranian South Oil Company said Sunday.
“Only a few wells remain closed because floodwaters damaged roads leading to oil wells, and the deluge has created problems for some pipelines,” IRNA quoted Ahmad Mohammadi as saying.
Iran’s worst flooding in 70 years, which started in mid- March and lasted for a month, killed 80 people, forced more than 220,000 into emergency shelters and caused an estimated $2.5 billion in damage to roads, bridges, homes and farmland.
