Iranian energy companies have resumed work at South Pars gas field which has been abandoned by foreign energy giants two years ago.
Iran’s Oil Ministry’s news service Shana said in a Monday report that drilling work on a first well at Phase 11 of the South Pars started earlier in the day during a ceremony held via video conference at the ministry headquarters in Tehran.
Iran’s Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh ordered the start of the operation at the drilling rig MD-1, located deep into the Persian Gulf waters at a maritime boundary with Qatar specified as SPD11B, said the report.
Phase 11 is the largest of 28 phases of South Pars, the Iranian section of the world’s largest gas filed which is shared with Qatar.
