The deputy CEO of Iran's National Drilling Company announced the drilling and final completion of 46 oil and gas wells in the first half of this year by using the company's drilling fleet in the land and sea areas of the country.
28 common oil and gas fields of Iran, which contain half of the country's gas reserves, have not been properly developed due to sanctions, lack of investment, lack of technology, mismanagement, and the existence of some mafias. While neighboring countries are rapidly exploiting these resources, Iran is missing a historic opportunity for economic development.
An expert in the field of energy said: Now the situation in Iran is such that pipelines have been built and launched in the north, south, east and west, and we are surrounded as an island.
The CEO of Iran Gas Engineering and Development Company emphasized the necessity of integrating the value chain in order to optimize gas production and consumption.
Referring to the volume of gas production and consumption in the country, the deputy oil minister for gas affairs announced: "There is no longer any conflict and now we have a gas shortage."
According to the report of the Majlis Research Center, the country's nominal gas refining capacity until 2022 is about 1030 million cubic meters per day, and 72.4% of this capacity has been used.
The Black Sea has a geopolitical complexity due to the multitude of actors and beneficiaries of the gas market, which makes it difficult to transfer Iran's gas to Europe through this route.
The formalities of exporting Iran's liquefied gas to Pakistan from the border of Mirjaveh to Taftan returned to normal after the consultations of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Customs of the Islamic Republic of Iran and are currently being carried out according to the normal procedure.
The CEO of Iran Gas Engineering and Development Company said: During the last two years, we were able to drill as many gas wells as the entire period of activity of the National Gas Company.
It is not only the budget deficit that has challenged the 14th government in the first days of its work, but the energy crisis is the most important crisis of the economic team of Masoud Mezeshkian, which has involved all the pillars of the country's economy. From gas and its pricing to electricity and gasoline.
