With the continuous development and progress of technology, one oil field after another has been discovered and developed. Next, let's learn about the largest oil field in Iran, the Ahvaz oil field.
Ahvaz Oilfield, located in southern Iran near the Persian Gulf, is the largest oil field in Iran and one of the top ten oil fields in the worldThe total recoverable oil reserves are 65 billion barrels, about 8.9 billion tons.
The field has been in operation since 1954 and is owned by the National Iranian Oil Company. At its peak, the output was about 75 million tonsAt present, it produces about 750,000 barrels of oil per day (37.5 million tons per year), ranking first in Iran's oil production all year round, and has a pivotal position in Iran's domestic energy industry.
Affected by US sanctions, the Ahvaz oil field has a bad fate.
In July 2020, the day after the news of China's plan to invest $400 billion in Iran, the Ahvaz oil field suddenly broke out, an important oil pipeline was blown up, and the scene was on fire, flames soared into the sky, and thick smoke billowed into the sky, which seriously affected the normal operation of the oilfield.
This is obviously a warning signal from the United States and Israel to Iran, and Israel has even publicly claimed the incident and threatened Iran not to "choose sides" on all fronts.
But the heroic Iranian people will not be intimidated by threats. In March 2021, China and Iran signed a US$400 billion strategic cooperation agreement. China plans to spend 25 years investing in dozens of fields such as infrastructure, energy, telecommunications, science and technology, medicine and health care to help Iran develop its economy. In exchange, Iran will give the Chinese side a regular oil.
Iran's oil production has fallen sharply amid the imposition of sanctions on Iran by the United States, and in 2022 Iran produced 17.6 billion tonnes (3.52 million barrels per day), compared with the peak (2.52 million barrels per day).1.6 billion tons).
May the Iranian people get rid of the impact of US sanctions as soon as possible and return to the normal track of work, life and investment. May the tree of China-Iran cooperation be evergreen and bloom the most beautiful flowers, and the "Belt and Road" will bloom the most dazzling light in the world as soon as possible.
