Iran to boost oil production in joint oilfield

“The Iranian Offshore Oil company, other than its role to produce crude oil, establishes the presence of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the Persian Gulf,” Bovard said.

Foroozan oilfield, a joint field between Iran and Saudi Arabia, is located about 100 kilometers southwest of the Kharg Island and the Arabian part of this oilfield is called ‘Marjan’.

This oilfield, with a reserve of around 2.3 billion barrels of crude oil, is mostly placed in Saudi Arabia's waters and according to the accepted borderline between Iran and Saudi Arabia Iran’s share to obtain oil from this field is 11 percent.

Two platforms are supposed to be installed in this field by Iran soon.
