Harald Jan Teodor Dahle (December 1949) is a Norwegian writer, producer, director creating dialogue and common ground under the umbrella www.petrofilm.com He spent six consecutive years, 1998-2003, creating dialogue and common ground on the highest level with the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of the world’s largest 2D seismic project and has worked on the Iranian subject for twenty years. The Persian Carpet 2000(PC2000) stretched from North of the Persian Gulf to the Oman Sea. Dahle documented the entire project and was a liaison between the seismic progress in the Gulf and the management in Tehran, Oslo and Beijing. Worked with Iranian, Chines, British, Canadian, and Norwegian professional people. My base was on-and-off in Tehran, traveling via Abadan to the MJF (Moztasafan Organization of the Iranian revolution) and BGP bases in Hendyjan, the Chinese trailer camp at the Gulf, further on to Bushehr, the Kish Island, Dubai and Sharjah. I monitored the progress of the project from the six seismic vessels, Bin Hai 504, Bin Hai 517, Hai Shi 1, Geo Mariner, Odin Explorer and Pejwak. The seismic shootings was performed in collaboration with the National Iranian Oil Company, NIOC, the China National Petroleum Company, CNPC and the Bureau of Geophysical Prospecting, BGP, also in China. Languages: English, German and Norwegian. Persian Carpet 2K Seismic Project form north of the Persian Gulf to the Oman Sea 1998-2003 Dahle spent six years, from 1998-2003 in the Persian Gulf creating dialog and common ground on the highest level with the Islamic Republic of Iran and Norway on behalf of the three-national consortium mapping the entire seabed of the Gulf on the Iranian side. He has since worked extensively on the Iran subject for another thirteen years. There was top performances of all the seismic vessels, trawling the Iranian waters in a 2Km by 2Km dense grid, North to South and east to West. Dahle visited several times the Iranian island of Kish some forty minutes flying time from Dubai and made a filmed interview with the people at the French oil giant Total's supply base. Between February and April 2002, he attended two seminaries at the University of Kish.

The project was a huge success with respect to the quality of the seismic data, which, after test processing on board the Chinese mother ship Bin Hai 504, would be further finalized in the CRAY number cruncher at the Imperial College, Royal School of Mines in London were clients would come and view the data as maps on computer screens. The seismic data were then sold to oil companies. They in turn, would need them if they were to drill on the Iranian side of the Persian Gulf after Iran had released new search "blocks".
