TEHRAN - The new manager of the National Iranian South Oilfields Company (N.I.S.O.C) vowed he would revitalize N.I.S.O.C's seized authorities after starting to work.
Eng. Seifollah Jashnsaz said here on Friday that some of the N.I.S.O.C's
authorities in the southern oilfields, which have been seized during the
past years and mainly transferred to Tehran, are being revitalized.
He also said that granting personnel loans, making decision over projects
and supervising implementation of the projects have been among the
aforesaid authorities and added that preserving the oil production amount, using
modern technologies in conducting projects and using expert manpower were
scheduled to be mainly focused on in scheduling the new programs of the
N.I.S.O.C.
Jashnsaz further noted that programs have been made to increase oil
PRODUCTION from great southern oilfields such as Marun, Bibi Hakimeh and Ahvaz.
According to the reports, the Norwegian Statoil Corp. has began studies on
how to boost oil production from the aforesaid oilfields from some years
ago, and with the completion of the final report, the National Iranian Oil
Company will decide about how to conduct the projects.
The reports suggest that in order to implement the aforementioned project,
a consortium will be probably formed between the Statoil and the
N.I.S.O.C.
Jashnsaz has been formerly the managing director of the National Iranian
Drilling Company (NIDC) that is one of the strategic oil companies. After
presenting the privatization proposal that was followed by a number of
criticisms, the NIDC is still being run as a sub-company of the parent
National Iranian Oil Company.
For the first time after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the
aforesaid company logged a 332,000 meters excavation last year, and is
determined to increase its record to 350,000 to 360,000 meters by the end of the
current year.
The NIDC presently plays a key role in conducting both foreign and
domestic projects.
Conducting international projects and excavating some 35 oil and gas wells
since the beginning of the current year - 1384 (2005 - 2006) - so far are
among other accomplishments of the NIDC.
