  • Mothballed Oil Wells Rehabilitation

    Mothballed Oil Wells Rehabilitation

    TEHRAN (Shana) -- National Iranien Oil Company (NIOC) has long focused on developing technologies to enhance recovery from oil wells. Although sanctions have posed an obstacle in its way, it aims to cut short the way to its objective by embarking on a quick-yielding project for the rehabilitation of low-output and abandoned wells.

Without enhancing oil output, no future may be envisaged for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects. Therefore, the important thing would be to enhance production in any possible manner. Internationally speaking, more oil production would empower Iran to become more influential in the oil market while remaining resilient to challenges and restrictions because in the economic and political structure of the world energy, oil barrels have the final say.
