Iran discovers two new gas fields

National Iranian Oil Company CEO Ahmad Qalebani says two new natural gas fields have been discovered in the country.

Details on the discovery of these new gas fields will be announced by the Oil Minister on the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Qalebani said on Tuesday.

“Currently, a working group made up of experts from the National Iranian Oil Company and Oil Ministry’s planning [department] have embarked on studying the oil and gas reserves of each one of the country’s hydrocarbon fields,” Deputy Oil Minister Mohsen Khojasteh-Mehr said.

The official also said that measuring new reserves in the oil and gas fields is carried out in accordance with Iran’s latest scientific and technological achievements, adding that the final measurement on the total supplies of Iran’s crude oil and natural gas reserves will be officially announced.

Khojasteh-Mehr earlier announced that the country’s hydrocarbon capacities are expected to grow due to the modern tactics employed in oil and gas explorations, highlighting the country’s potential for discovering even more intact hydrocarbon reserves.
