Iran seeks $40 billion to raise crude oil production
NEW DELHI: Iran is seeking around $40 billion foreign investment to explore its many potentially energy rich areas and raise the crude production capacity to 8 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2005, according to a senior Iranian official.
"We are seeking to increase our crude oil production capacity from 3.7 million bpd to 8 million bpd by 2005, when our domestic consumption would have risen to 2 million bpd from 1.2 million to 1.5 million bpd currently. The increase in capacity would enable us to export more oil," said Abbas Maleki, chairman of Tehran-based International Institute for Caspian Sea, on the sidelines of an energy security conference here on Wednesday.
The proposal to boost production envisages "revitalising the joint reserves with neighbouring countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait and Iraq. We are keen to pay more attention to the potential of reserves in the border regions," said Maleki.
Iran has an estimated 812 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of proven natural gas reserves, the second largest after Russia. On the reserves near Qatar, which holds the third largest gas reserves, Maleki said the offshore South Pars field, which is estimated to hold 12 trillion cubic feet of gas and is Iran`s largest non-associated gas field, is geologically an extension of Qatar`s 241-Tcf North Field.
Iran is planning to bring into force a new law for foreign investment that would allow for absorption of foreign direct investment. The bill in currently under review in Parliament, said Maleki.
The new law would permit production-sharing contracts in the oil and gas sector. Currently all major global companies except American companies are participating in Iranian exploration and production activities.
In line with Iran`s keenness to export gas to India, the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) is studying the best route for setting up a gas pipeline in association with state-owned gas major Gas Authority of India Ltd (GAIL). The two companies have commissioned a feasibility study for a deep-sea route at 3 km depth, bypassing Pakistan for security reasons.
"In association with GAIL we are also studying setting up LNG installations in the Persian Gulf at the Pars Oil and Gas Free Zone in Iran, which is going to handle all LNG trade," said the official. (IANS)
