Iran to up Soroush oilfield output

Director of the Research and Technology Department at the National Iranian Offshore Oil Company (NIOOC) Jalal Mousavi said Tuesday that research studies on Soroush oilfield started sooner than scheduled to update the foreign advisory company engaged in the development of the field.

More than 30 tests are expected to be carried out on reservoirs of Soroush oilfield and the results will be passed on to the advisory firm, Mousavi pointed out.

The Iranian oil official noted that appraisals on other oilfields will begin once preliminary measures have been taken. He added that NIOOC aims to increase oil production at ten fields, including Nourouz, Abuzar, Salman and Balal.

Soroush and Norouz oilfields respectively with 7.5 and 1.9 billion barrels of oil-in-place reserves are among the largest oilfields in the western parts of the Persian Gulf.

Under previous studies by the Shell Oil Company, once engaged in the development of Soroush and Norouz oilfields, recoverable oil reserves of the two fields are estimated at 585 and 560 million barrels respectively.

Initial studies show that the rate of recovery in Soroush oilfield could be increased considerably.

Each one-percent increase in the recovery rate adds production of oil from the field by 100 million barrels with regard to 10 billion barrels of its in-place oil reserves, according to SHANA.
