Capacity of Oil Fields
Iran has oil fields with significant capacities. For example, the Azadegan oil field has a daily production capacity of 300,000 barrels, and the Yaran oil field has a capacity of 120,000 barrels per day, making them among the important fields in the country. Bord emphasized that with the cooperation of petrochemicals and the Ministry of Oil, these capacities can be maximized.
Furthermore, he referred to the importance of modern technologies in field development and said: "The use of advanced technologies can improve the efficiency and effectiveness of extraction and production operations. In this regard, petrochemicals can play a significant role in advancing the oil and gas industry of the country by investing in research and development."
Economic Implications
The development of oil and gas fields by petrochemicals can have many positive impacts on the country's economy. Increasing oil and gas production means increased national revenues and reduced dependence on energy imports. Bord stated in this regard: "If petrochemicals engage in field development, not only will sustainable feedstock be achieved, but it will also bring greater profitability for the country."
In conclusion, the caretaker of the Ministry of Oil called on all petrochemicals to present their plans for the development of oil and gas fields and emphasized closer cooperation with the Ministry of Oil. This action could be considered a key strategy in the country's energy policies and help achieve economic and social goals.
