With the installation of A20 and A21 platforms to Iran’s offshore Abouzar Field, nearly 10,000 barrels per day (bpd) will be added to the country’s crude oil output, according to an official with the knowledge of the matter.
Alireza Mehdizadeh, the managing director of the Iranian Offshore Oil Company, said that the construction project of these platforms has made some 85 percent progress so that they are expected to be installed in the second half of the calendar year (September 22, 2023 – March 20, 2024).
