Iran 

 

StatoilHydro is offshore operator for development phases six-eight on the South Pars gas and condensate field in the Iranian sector of the Persian Gulf.

We also have exploration and drilling operations on land in Iran.

Exploration drilling on the Anaran field has resulted in promising and commercial discoveries in recent years.

On Khorram-Abad, we have an agreement to conduct a seismic survey during 2007 and to drill exploration wells over a four-year period in addition to gathering additional seismic data.

Together with the National Iranian Oil Company, we have also drawn up plans for improving recovery from the Ahwaz, Marun and Bibi Hakimeh fields.
