Iranian Offshore Oil Company (IOOC) along with National Iranian Tanker Company (NITC) has started to implement a project for injecting gas condensate into Soroush oil filed in the Persian Gulf to keep its production levels, Tehran Times reported.
This is the first time for such project to be implemented in Iran in which the gas produced from giant South Pars gas field will be injected into Soroush field’s wells.
Soroush oil field, in Persian Gulf, is located about 120 Kilometers (km) Southwest of Bahregan area and 80 Km from Kharg Island. It was stooped during Iran-Iraq war and was redeveloped by Royal Dutch Shell in 2000 under a Buy-back contract.
