Azadegan oil field

The Azadegan oil field is an oil field in Iran. It is located 80 km west of Ahvaz, near the Iraqi border.

History
The first exploration well was drilled in the field in 1976, but its discovery was finalized after drilling the second well in 1999. The field has an approximate area of 900 km2.

Reserves
Iranian authorities claim that the Azadegan field has oil-in-place reserves of about 33.2 Goilbbl and recoverable resources estimated at about 5.2 Goilbbl. It is one of the NIOC Recent Discoveries and the biggest oil field found in Iran in the last 30 years.

Sarvak, Kazhdomi, Godvan, and Fahilan are productive layers of the field. The current production is 40000 oilbbl/d. Crude oil produced by the Fahilan layer is light while the other layers yield heavy crude.
