NIOC Recent Discoveries

NIOC Recent Discoveries

Iran still has huge potential for new significant gas discoveries: areas like Caspian Sea, North East, Central Kavir and especially areas starting from Aghar and Dalan gas fields in Fars province up to the Strait of Hormuz and Central Persian Gulf have considerable amount of undiscovered gas resources.

According to Exploration Directorate of NIOC, there are about 150 unexplored anticlines in Iran. [Farsnews.com 17 Apr 2008 [http://www.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=8701290287] ]

One Western geologist who once worked for the BP-led Consortium in Iran says; [ IRAN - The Geology. APS Review Gas Market Trends • April 2, 2007 • [http://www.entrepreneur.com/tradejournals/article/161354454.html] ]

"the undiscovered potential can be as large, if not larger, than Iran's current oil and gas reserves. He says despite the enormous quantities of oil and gas discovered to date and the length of time spent in exploration, Iran is so prolific that substantial new discoveries can be expected with confidence."
