Tehran intends to increase oil production to 5.7 million barrels a day, said the head of the Iranian Committee for the revision of oil contracts Mehdi Hosseini. In July, Iran was producing 2.85 million barrels per day.
Iran will provide potential investors two to three months to decide on participation in tenders, Hosseini stressed. "The exact timing will have been determined by the time of the conference," - said the Iranian official.
The auctions on the field development will lead to the conclusion of "contracts with a minimum guarantee of compensation." This means that investors will not get ownership of mineral resources, but will receive part of the proceeds or part of the oil produced.
Oil production in Iran costs $ 8-10 per barrel, so "our projects will be attractive to investors," said Hosseini.
"The fall in prices from $ 100 a barrel to around $ 50 a barrel is a short-term phenomenon. If you look at the international oil industry in the long term, demand will start to grow and, accordingly, will increase prices", - concluded Hosseini.
