Gaz et pétrole en Iran

[Raminagrobis]

Bluff ?

Though declining to specify exactly where, the outgoing Iranian oil minister announced the discovery of a giant oil field as a new government takes shape.

Iranian Oil Minister Gholamhossein Nozari announced the discovery of the field, which the semiofficial Fars news agency reports has in-place reserves of more than "20,000 billion barrels."

lol 20 000 milliards de barrils
= 3 180 000 000 000 mètres cubes

Supposons une porosité du réservoir de 30%, ça nous fait 1.06 x 10^13 mètres cubes de roche réservoir remplie de pétrole.

Supposons une collonne de pétrole énorme, de 200 mètres d'épaisseur moyenne, ça nous fait un gisement qui s'étend sur 53 000 km carrées

De toute évidence les journalistes ont rien écouté, et c'est 20 milliards de barrils. Ce qui sera déjà une des plus grosses découvertes récentes.

[Glycogène]

20,000 billion = 20 milliards
20'000 billion = 20000 milliards
tssss...

[Raminagrobis]

20,000 billion = 20 milliards
20'000 billion = 20000 milliards
tssss...

non, en américain, les virgulles servent à séparer les paquets de trois chiffres, pas de séparateur de décimales. Le déparatieur de décimales en américain c'est le point.

Par exemple 21,325.12 en américain, c'est 21 325,12 en français.

Ben quoi, ça ne fait jamais que 230km sur 230km ou 117 Ghawars !

On est sauvé pour un moment !

Oui sans doute un problème de zéros qui se balladent quelque part ....

[Glycogène]

non, en américain, les virgulles servent à séparer les paquets de trois chiffres, pas de séparateur de décimales.

Et non, l'utilisation de la virgule comme séparateur de millier est invalide depuis... 1948
Par contre le séparateur décimal peut être la virgule ou le point.
Du coup, d'après ces règles, "20,000" signifie bien 20 et non 20000
Le journaliste a ajouté les 3 zéro exprès pour piéger Raminagrobis, dans le même style que la femme enceinte de douzuplés

[Raminagrobis]

On écrit jamais 20,000 pour dire simplement "20"

[Glycogène]

Oui oui, je déconne, le journaliste a bien dû faire une erreur, mais peut être juste en recopiant les chiffres sur un depuis un tableau de réserves donné en Mb, mais les articles et interviews ne mentionnaient que des Gb, du coup il a corrigé en mettant "billions" mais en oubliant d'enlever 3 zéros...

[sceptique]

Wikipedia :

Par exemple, avant 1948, « one million three hundred thousand twenty two » pouvait s'écrire en anglais « 1,300,022 » ; depuis 1948, il devrait s'écrire « 1 300 022 ».

Malheureusement, les vieilles normes ont la peau dure ...

Les Iraniens lancent leur premier tanker construit par eux méme.

Sera inauguré par le president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad en personne.

Iran launches its 1st domestically-built container ship

comes one step closer to shipbuilding independence with the launch of its first indigenous ocean-going container ship in the Persian Gulf.

The ship dubbed Iran-Arak set sail in the southern province of Hormozgan in a Thursday ceremony attended by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Manufactured by the Iran Shipbuilding and Offshore Industries Complex Co. (ISOICO), the 2200 TEU container ship weighs 7500 tons on land, can accelerate to 32 knots (59.3 Km/h) and is able to sail 25 days non-stop.

The vessel, which has cost $50 million to construct, is 185 meters (607ft) long, 30 meters (98.4ft) wide, has 10 meters (32.8 ft) of draft and uses more than 16.7 MW to reach 21.5 knots (39.8 km/h).

President Ahmadinejad congratulated the shipbuilding team on what he described as an "astounding success".

"Our progress in the shipbuilding sector is highly commendable," said the Iranian president.

On its first journey, Iran-Arak, will roam the waters of the Persian Gulf for 24 hours as a final test.

The manufacturing company, ISOICO, operates under the Industrial Development and Renovation Organization of Iran (IDRO).

Iran Discovers Vast Oil Field

TEHRAN (FNA) 2009-08-18

Iranian Oil Minister Gholam Hossein Nozari announced on Tuesday that the country has discovered a giant oil field with in-place reserves of over 20,000 billion barrels.

"The relevant information on the exact location and volume of reserves of this oil field will be declared in coming days," Nozari added.

Informed sources at the oil ministry described the oil field as one of the richest discovered in recent years, saying that it holds exploitable reserves of 20,591 billion barrels of crude oil, 692 billion barrels of in-place gas liquefactions reserves and 24,283 billion barrels of in-place liquid hydrocarbon reserves.

Also, the in-place gas reserves discovered in the oil field stand at 11,372 billion cubic feet.

Iran has found 17 oil fields during the last 4 years.

ca veut dire que les agences étrangéres vont reprendre ca et diffuser partout l' erreur .....

Heureusement, en 2 jours cela n' est pas encore le cas.
La recherche "iran decouverte pétrole" dans google actualité ne donne rien.

Je rapelle que les reserves pétroliéres de l' Iran sont de 137.6 milliards de baril (ou 137.6 billions de barils en US speaking) selon le BP report 2008.
Bon, si ils ont trouvé 20 milliars de barils suplémentaires, c' est déja un "big elephant" quand méme,
et c' est plus que ce qui reste pour tout le Mexique ( 11.9 milliards de baril de reserves en 2008 selon BP report)

[energy_isere]

Voici un article un peu plus crédible sur la derniére découverte de pétrole en Iran pour 8.8 milliards de barils :

Iran announces largest oil find for five years

by Reuters

OIL FIND: Iran says it has found its largest oilfield for five years. Iran's oil minister Gholamhossein Nozari said over 8.8 billion barrels of crude oil has been discovered in four new layers at the Sousangerd oilfield, the largest in five years, the IRNA news agency reported on Monday.

"Drilling all layers of this field was successfully finished in the depth of 5,026 metres and as expected the amount of in-place oil reserve is about 8.83 billions of barrel," Nozari was quoted as saying.

Nozari also said this was the biggest oilfield discovered in the past five years in the country.

Iran, which sits on the world's second-largest oil and gas reserves, is an attractive prospect for international firms starved of access to Middle East fields.

But Tehran has not signed a major deal with a large western oil company for years as political pressure over its nuclear programme continues to be a barrier of entry for these firms.

The West says Iran is working to develop nuclear bombs, but Tehran insists nuclear power is needed to produce electricity.

The outcry following the June election, which stirred the biggest internal crisis since the 1979 Islamic revolution, is expected to further slow Iranian bureaucracy and scare dealmakers in big oil firms.

Enfin un commentaire occidental sur cette annonce de l' Iran de découverte de 8.8 milliards de baril.

Des spécialistes doutent trés fortement que l' Iran puisse avoir le savoir faire et la technologie pour mettre ce champs en production.

En fait les Iraniens comptent certainement sur les Russes et les Chinois pour les aidr.r

Iran may fail to fully exploit new oil field – analysts

Tuesday, August 25, 2009

Washington, 25 August (WashingtonTV)

Oil analysts said on Tuesday that a lack of technology and tougher sanctions would likely prevent Iran from putting its latest oil field discovery into production.

On Monday, Iran’s Oil Minister Gholamhossein Nozari announced the discovery of a new oil field holding more than 8.8 billion barrels of oil. He described the field as the most significant discovery in the past five years, according to the state-run Press TV network.

Kamel Al Harami, an oil analyst in Kuwait, said that Iran does not have the technology to develop the new field, the Wall Street Journal reports.

“They are currently having problems sustaining their current production because of lack of technology and know-how,” he noted.

Raja Kiwan, an analyst at PFC Energy, also voiced doubts about Iran’s ability to recover the newly discovered oil.

“The question is how expensive and difficult it is to produce and do the Iranians have the resources to undertake a project of this scale alone,” he was quoted by the Wall Street Journal as saying.

Kiwan noted that Tehran had announced similar oil field discoveries in the past, but that their production capacity “has remained flat.”

The United States has led international efforts to cut off Iran’s access to technology needed to develop its energy sector, in a bid to curtail its nuclear drive. Iran relies heavily on Chinese and Russian technology for developing its oil fields, reports the Journal.

Oil revenues account for an estimated 80 percent of Iran’s revenues.

Le Venezuela livrera 20 000 barils jour à l'Iran

(Src : RIAN - Wikipedia)

Le président vénézuélien Hugo Chavez qui s'est rendu en Iran dans le cadre de sa tournée dans les pays de l'hémisphère Est a déclaré hier son intention de livrer à l'Iran 20 000 barils d'essence par jour.
"Le Venezuela va exporter 20.000 barils d'essence par jour à l'Iran à partir d'octobre aux termes d'un accord d'un montant de 800 millions de dollars", a-t-il déclaré dans la ville sainte de Machhad. La durée de cet approvisionnement n'a pas été précisée.

L'objectif de ce voyage pour le président Chavez est de renforcer les liens politiques, énergétiques et militaires avec des pays comme la Libye, l'Algérie, la Syrie, l'Iran et la Russie.

L'Iran détient 10% des réserves pétrolières mondiales prouvées et également les secondes réserves de gaz naturel mondiales - 15% du total mondial. Malgré des réserves de pétrole importantes, l'Iran a dépensé en 2005 quatre milliards de dollars pour des importations de carburant. Ces importations sont dues à une sous-capacité de raffinage dans le pays et à une consommation nationale en constante augmentation.

Aprés l' engagement du Venezuela à fournir de l' essence à L' Iran (post ci desus), au tour de la Chine de fournir aussi de l' essence :

China supplying gasoline to Iran:

A Financial Times report indicates that Chinese state companies began supplying gasoline to Iran this month – a move that threatens to undermine US-led efforts aimed at curbing Iran's nuclear ambitions.

The report was published a day before world leaders gathered yesterday to discuss Iran's nuclear ambitions.

The sales, which now account for one-third of Iran's imports, come through despite moves over the past year by international companies, including BP and Reliance of India, to stop selling gasoline to Iran, the newspaper said.

"Between 30,000 to 40,000 barrels a day of Chinese petrol is making its way from Asian spot markets through third parties," the newspaper quoted Lawrence Eagles, head of commodities research at JP Morgan, as saying.

The report added that the "sales are legal because the current sanctions do not cover fuel imports," which was echoed by Tian Wenlin, an expert on Iranian studies at the Institutes of Contemporary International Relations, who noted that "even if the sales are true, they are legal and compatible with relevant UN resolutions."

French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner told the International Herald Tribune on Tuesday that he was not in favor of plans proposed by some US lawmakers to impose fuel sanctions on Iran to further put pressure on it regarding its nuclear aspirations.
Speaking in New York, where he is attending the UN General Assembly, Kouchner warned that a fuel blockade would mainly harm the poor people in Iran.

On Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was quoted by Reuters as saying that Western powers knew sanctions were a "failed policy" and "if they would like to taste once again the failed policies, that is up to them."

"The sanctions were designed to pressure Iran to join the negotiations," Tian said. "Tougher sanctions may achieve an opposite result."

The UN Security Council has already imposed three sets of sanctions against Iran over its refusal to halt its uranium-enrichment activities. Teheran denies the charges and maintains its program is for global nuclear disarmament.
