The development of Azar Oilfield in Ilam Province is underway and the project will be handed over to the West Oil and Gas Production Company in the near future, the managing director of the Iranian Central Oil Fields Company said. 
“The project seeks to add more than 33,000 barrels per day, or 80% to the field’s output,” Mehdi Heydari was also reported as saying by the Oil Ministry’s news service. 
The total production of the joint field, which Iran shares with Iraq, currently stands at 42,000 barrels per day.
