Accompanied by National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) Managing Director Mohsen Khojastehmehr, Owji inaugurated several projects during his one-day visit to the southwestern province of Khuzestan.

The South Azadegan field is located 80 kilometers west of Ahvaz, the capital city of Khuzestan Province, and shared with Iraq.

The joint field has 203 wells, two collection units in the south and the north, and one Central Treatment Export Plant (CTEP).

Of the 203 wells, 163 have been drilled for boosting the field’s output and 60 new ones have been interconnected.

Following the increase in the field’s production, its northern separation unit was launched and now 25,000 barrels of oil are transferred from the South Azadegan field to the desalination unit.
