Production from Sohrab Oilfield near the Iran-Iraq border in the southern Khuzestan Province will start in the near future, managing director of the National Iranian Oil Company said.
“The Sohrab joint field in the West Karun block will soon become operational,” the Oil Ministry’s news agency Shana quoted Mohsen Khojastehmehr as saying.
Iran shares the Sohrab Oilfield with Iraq. The field is estimated to hold 2 billion barrels of oil in place, 150 million barrels of which are recoverable.
NIOC concluded an agreement with the Tehran-based Dana Energy Company last year to develop the field.
