This
makes Iran one of the world’s largest holders of crude oil, condensate and gas
liquids reserves on the planet, Shana

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.
