    Iranian oil fields

    The National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), under the direction of the Ministry of Petroleum of Iran, is an oil and natural gas producer and distributor headquartered in Tehran. It was established in 1948.

    NIOC was established with the objective of the exploration, development, production, marketing and sales of crude oil and natural gas. NIOC's oil and gas in place reserves are 137 bn barrels (10% of world's total) and 41.14 trillion cubic meters (15% of world's total), respectively which give it a unique status in the global energy supply. As of 2005 it also owns 50% of the offshore gas field of Rhum in the North Sea, which is Britain's largest untapped gas field. NIOC is considered the second largest oil firm of the world [1]. NIOC produces 50-80% of its industrial equipment domestically including oil tankers, oil rigs, offshore platforms and exploration instruments
    .
    Current NIOC production capacities include over 4 million barrels of crude oil and in excess of 300 million cubic meters of natural gas per day. On the export side, the company benefits from its modern extensive facilities on the three islands of Kharg, Lavan and Siri consisting of 17 jetties capable of berthing tankers of all sizes to lift and export its crude oil. Iran's overall export crude oil price value about 52 billion dollars until the end of the year (Iranian calendar, March 21, 2007)

    Join the Discussion about Iran for Oil
    Iran has one of the cheapest gas prices in the world because the Government subsidies many basic commodities, including gasoline totalling some 30 billion dollar (as of 2006). Coincidently, Iran has also one of the highest gas consumption per capita in the world. Experts agree that oil is a pollutant and that its usage should be made as efficient as possible and not waisted (or encouraged) through subsidies. Consequently, Iran has become a net importer of gasoline.
