StatoilHydro is offshore development operator for phases 6, 7 & 8 of the South Pars gas and condensate field in the Iranian sector of the Persian Gulf.

We have also engaged in onshore exploration and drilling activities.

Exploration drilling on the Anaran field resulted in promising commercial discoveries in recent years. Work on this project is currently suspended.

On Khorram-Abad, we have a commitment to conduct a seismic survey and to drill exploration wells.
