This makes Iran one of the world’s largest holders of crude oil,
condensate and gas liquids reserves on the planet, Shana wrote.
Iran has the world's largest hydrocarbon reserves, and according to the
United States Geological Survey (USGS), in terms of exploration capacity, Iran
ranks third in the world after Iraq and Russia.
Meanwhile, after the 1979 Islamic Revolution, a total of 65 oil and gas
fields have been discovered in Iran, and the Iranian Minister of Petroleum
Bijan Zangeneh recently announced that light and sweet oil was discovered in
Minoo Island for the first time.
At the head of the post-Islamic discoveries is the discovery of the
South Pars gas field (shared with Qatar). The offshore field is the largest
joint gas field in the world; Iran has registered a maximum of 600 mcm/d of gas
from the field.
The discovery of the South Azadegan oil field, the largest joint oilfield
in the country, was also after the Islamic Revolution.
About 100,000 barrels/day of oil are currently being recovered from the
field, and it has recently been announced that the daily production of this
field will increase by around 50,000 b/d by the end of the current Iranian
calendar year to March 20.
Yadavaran, Changuleh, Azar, Bandar Karkheh, Arvand, Tosan, Paranj,
Assalouyeh, Jofeir, Aban, Binalood, Susangerd, Sohrab, Sepehr, Dehloran, and
