NIOC mulls Polish proposal on oilfield development

The plan for developing Sumar oilfield has been proposed by the Poland's PGNIG company.

The plan was discussed by experts, senior officials on hydrocarbon resources, and members of the consultative commission of reserves management.

Sumar oilfield lies in the border region in the western Province of Kermanshah. The proposal is based on two-dimensional model Seismology data and includes a production well.

Asmari reserve in the oilfield has the capacity to produce up to 3,800 barrels of oil per day.

Discussing the international proposals, however, does not mean that the development of the fields are assigned to the proposing companies.

Developing oil and gas fields in border regions shared by the neighboring countries are among the Iranian government's priorities.
