Iran to raise Darkhovin oilfield production to 220,000 bpd
The third phase of the development of Darkhovin oilfield, in
southwest of Iran, started with the goal of increasing output by
60,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 220,000 bpd, said the managing
director of Iran's Petroleum Engineering and Development
Company.
Nader Qorbani told the IRNA news agency that the third phase is
aimed to produce 14,000 barrels of light crude and 46,000 barrels
of heavy crude per day.
So far, 28 wells have been drilled at the oilfield in the frame of
the first two phases of the development plan to produce 160,000
barrels of oil per day, he noted.
In August 2011, the National Iranian Oil Company and a consortium
of Iranian companies signed a $1.6 billion contract to develop the
third phase of the Darkhovin oilfield.
The project is aimed to daily produce 71,000 barrels of crude
oil.
The Darkhovin oilfield's reserves are estimated at over five
billion barrels.
