Rejection of Claims of Halt in Development
Zarei responded to statements from some media regarding a temporary halt or non-execution of operations on the remaining six pads of the Sohrab field, calling these claims incorrect. He explained that the development of the Sohrab field is being pursued within the framework of the technical requirements and environmental commitments issued, and there is no halt in the execution of this project.
The Sohrab field, as an oil field with significant capacity, is currently one of the priorities of the Ministry of Oil in terms of developing hydrocarbon resources. Due to its geographical conditions and existing infrastructure, it has the potential to create high added value.
Consequences of the Sohrab Field Development
The development of the Sohrab field will not only help increase the country's oil production but can also have positive economic impacts and job creation in the region. Given the capacities of this field, it is expected that with the continuation of development operations, the volume of oil extraction from this field will increase, and consequently, the country's oil revenues will improve.
Ultimately, Nasrollah Zarei emphasized that developmental projects such as the Sohrab field must fully adhere to technical and environmental principles to ensure that production increases while also paying attention to environmental protection.
