According to a report from the Oil Engineering and Development Company, Abbas Gudarzi Arjmand, speaking at a ceremony for the rig's launch, emphasized the importance of accelerating drilling to meet production targets. "To achieve the target production of 110,000 barrels per day by the end of the second development phase, we need a minimum of six drilling rigs active annually. Therefore, the addition of MAPNA's second drilling rig in the year 1404 (2025-2026) is a necessary and critical step," he stated.

He added that deploying new contractors will not only speed up drilling and well completion operations but will also create constructive competition among contractors active in the West Karun region, leading to qualitative and quantitative improvements.

With the installation of MAPNA's first rig, the "MAPNA Nour-2," the number of active rigs in the Sepehr and Jofeir fields has now reached four. According to plans, the rig's first task will be to drill a well in the Fahliyan reservoir to a depth of approximately 4,500 meters. The well is expected to produce more than 4,000 barrels of oil per day.
