The unit aims to reduce pollution and improve environmental conditions in the region.

Majid Najarian stated that the project, a joint effort between Iran’s Maten Company and Russia’s ZN Vostok, officially began operations on Feb. 12.

He explained that the unit continuously separates floating oil layers from the evaporation pond’s water surface and returns them to the central processing facilities at Cheshmeh Khosh for final treatment.

Najarian emphasized the importance of environmental protection in industrial processes, noting, “In developing this field, we have prioritized environmental conservation as a fundamental principle. The deployment of this unit is an effective measure to prevent water and soil contamination and reduce the environmental impact of industrial activities.”

The project manager highlighted that the Oil Engineering and Development Company, in collaboration with ZN Vostok, has aligned the development and production of these fields with health, safety, and environmental (HSE) standards.

“These actions demonstrate our commitment to social and environmental responsibilities toward society and nature,” he added.

The project not only reduces pollution but also prevents the loss of oil resources. The collected oil is returned to the central processing facilities, where it is treated and reintroduced into the production cycle. This approach enhances the productivity of the oil fields and represents a significant step toward sustainable development and environmental preservation.

With the launch of this unit, a significant improvement in the region’s environmental conditions and a reduction in industrial pollution are expected. This initiative also serves as a model for other oil fields to adhere to environmental standards and pursue sustainable development.
