costaud les ptits camarades ,

"TEHERAN (AFP) — Téhéran et le géant russe Gazprom ont conclu dimanche un accord de coopération pour le développement des champs gaziers et pétroliers iraniens, quelques jours après que le groupe français Total eut jugé trop risqué politiquement d'investir en Iran.

"La Compagnie nationale iranienne du pétrole et Gazprom ont signé un accord les engageant à coopérer dans le développement des champs pétroliers et gaziers iraniens", rapporte l'agence Shana, liée au ministère iranien du Pétrole.

Aucune précision n'a été donnée sur les aspects financiers de l'accord, qui signale la volonté de l'Iran de se tourner vers la Russie pour le développement de ses ressources énergétiques, au moment où les entreprises occidentales se montrent hésitantes du fait des pressions sur le dossier nucléaire."

Iran Seeks to Build $4 Billion Gas Pipeline to Europe (Update1)

By Ladane Nasseri and Lucian Kim

Sept. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Iran is seeking to build a $4 billion natural-gas pipeline to the European Union that may rival projects backed by the EU and Russia.

Iran in talks with a ``renowned European company'' that may operate the so-called Pars Pipeline, Deputy Oil Minister Akbar Torkan said in an interview in Tehran today.

``Surely, European countries are thinking about creating a lifeline in addition to Russia,'' Torkan said. ``Countries that believe buying gas from Iran is important enough and that don't want to be manipulated by others will collaborate.''

International sanctions have prevented Iran from drawing the technology and financing necessary to liquefy gas and export it via tankers as LNG, or liquefied natural gas. Iran, which holds the world's second-largest gas reserves after Russia, doesn't export the fuel any farther west than neighboring Turkey.

The Pars Pipeline is Iran's answer to the EU-backed Nabucco link and OAO Gazprom's South Stream project, Torkan said. Those projects are competing to supply western Europe with Caspian gas. He declined to provide a timeline.

Iran wants to pipe as much as 37 billion cubic meters of gas to Europe annually, about 20 percent more than either Nabucco or South Stream. Russia, which supplies about a quarter of Europe's gas needs, is planning to increase that share by building South Stream under the Black Sea and the Nord Stream link under the Baltic.

Iran Restrictions

U.S.-imposed restrictions on foreign investment in Iran, designed to punish the government for pursuing a nuclear program, won't scare off European partners in the pipeline, Torkan said.

``No one says that Iran's customers can't invest outside the country,'' he said. ``We will bring the gas up to the border, they will build the pipeline up to there.''

Torkan declined to name the European company holding talks on the pipeline, saying only that it isn't Austria's OMV AG, which heads Nabucco. The EU-backed project from Turkey and the Balkans to western Europe still has no supply base and hasn't ruled out taking Iranian gas.

``We have no contract and no engagement with Nabucco,'' Torkan said. ``We have come up with a new route and will have new customers.''

From Iran, the Pars Pipeline will cross Turkey, passing on to Greece, Italy and onward to Switzerland, Austria and Germany, Torkan said. Eastern Europe will be completely avoided, he said, and all countries along the route will also buy Iranian gas.

South Pars

Iran will tap its South Pars field, the world's single largest gas deposit, to supply the Pars Pipeline. European companies such as Royal Dutch Shell Plc, France's Total SA and Spain's Repsol YPF have curbed LNG projects at South Pars because of the increased political risk of investing in Iran.

South Pars gas exports would be more cost-effective through a pipeline rather than as LNG, Torkan said.

The lack of a unified pipeline system within Iran means that the northern part of the country relies on gas imports from neighboring Turkmenistan. Northern Iran, where Tehran is located, experienced a gas shortage during unseasonably cold weather earlier this year.

Sur Rigzone le cout donné ne serait pas de 4 milliards de $ mais de 8 milliards de $ !

Iran may allow international companies to build and run an $8 billion gas export pipeline in an effort to boost sales to Europe, a top government official said.

The pipeline is set to connect Iran's giant South Pars gas field in the Persian Gulf with Turkey and European customers,

Oui, sauf si on suppose que l'arabie saoudite aurait elle aussi suivi la tendance hubbert, cas dans lequel elle aurait piqué à au moins 20 MB/j dans les années 1980

Ce qui est intéressant, c'est que sans restrictions de production, l'Iran aurait piqué depuis longtemps, quelque soit l'URR qu'on prenne (même 250 Gb si on veut).

Iran to Invest $145b in Oil Industry

Written by The Media Line Staff November 26, 2008

Iran needs to invest at least $145 billion in its oil industry within the next 10 years, the country's Deputy Oil Minister Hamdullah Muhammad Nejad said during an oil conference in Tehran, according to Iran's Fars News Agency.

Muhammad Nejad assessed that an annual investment of $14 billion in the next decade would turn the country into the "region's first choice for value-added petrochemicals, OPEC's second producer and the world's third gas producer."

The deputy oil minister, who spoke at the first oil industry's National Stakeholder System Development Congress, invited the domestic private sector to increase its share as much as $7 billion a year to reach the goals set.

Meanwhile, Turkey's Energy Minister Hilmi Guler, who is currently conducting a visit to Tehran, said his country might make a $12-billion investment in Iran on the basis of an agreement signed between the two countries.

The money would be spent on developing Iran's offshore gas fields in southern Iran and construction of a 1,120-mile gas pipeline from Assalouyeh, a gas field in southern Iran, to the Turkish border.

It is estimated that Iran is sitting on the world's second largest reserves of both oil and gas.

Iran has frequently insisted that the American sanctions against it were inefficient, saying it could rely on finding Asian partners instead.

Last July, only a few days after French oil giant Total withdrew from its planned multi-billion dollar gas investment project in Iran, Russia's Gasprom stepped in.

L'Iran construit sept raffineries pour accroître ses capacités

TEHERAN (Reuters) - L'Iran construit actuellement sept raffineries, afin d'augmenter sa capacité de raffinage de pétrole brut et de gaz de plus de 1,5 million de barils par jour (bpj), a déclaré un responsable iranien cité par l'agence de presse iranienne Mehr.

"La construction de sept raffineries a commencé, grâce à l'investissement de 15 milliards d'euros (23,2 milliards de dollars)", a indiqué Aminollah Eskandari, directeur de la compagnie iranienne nationale de raffinage et de distribution pétrolière NIORDC.

"La capacité de raffinage de pétrole brut et de dérivés gaziers du pays augmentera de 1,56 million de barils", a-t-il ajouté.

Téhéran s'est lancé en 2006 dans un programme quinquennal visant à porter à 3,3 millions de bpj sa capacité de raffinage, qui est actuellement de 1,65 millions de bpj.

Selon Eskandari, les sept raffineries en construction seront en service à l'horizon 2012.

Iran to Become Gasoline Exporter by 2013

03 January 2009

Upon implementation of the plan for increasing gasoline production and constructing new refineries, by 2013 Iran will become self-sufficient in terms of procuring its domestic gasoline needs and join gasoline exporting countries.

The weekly newsletter Middle East Economic Survey (MEES) in its latest issue said that Tehran has extensive plans for expanding and optimizing its refineries.

Based on the report, Iran has ambitious plans regarding refineries and although all its related projects may not become operational as scheduled, completion of a few of them would enable Iran not to import gasoline.

FCC/RCC Projects
Iran is currently building three of the largest FCC/RCC units in the world with an output capacity of 94,000 barrels per day (bpd) in Arak, 91,000 bpd in Isfahan and 79,000 bpd in Abadan. Experts believe that these three projects alone will produce sufficient gasoline to eliminate imports in the short term.

The report said that upgrading Abadan Refinery will be completed in 2010, Arak in 2011-2 and Isfahan in 2012-3.

"There will be crude distillation unit expansions at Lavan, Arak, Tabriz and Isfahan refineries, which will add a combined 300,000 bpd to throughput capacity, while catalytic cracking expansions will add a further 279,999 bpd to gasoline yields," said the report.

New Refineries
The report also suggests that Iran has plans for new refineries. The Persian Gulf Star project is a $5 billion to $6 billion three-unit 360,000 bpd condensate splitter plant at Bandar Abbas, which will produce gasoline and diesel from South Pars condensate.

The project is expected to be completed in 2012-3.

Manager of coordination and supervision on production for the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company (NIORDC), Aminollah Eskandari told Iran Daily, "Through implementing projects for increasing gasoline production level and optimizing processes in the existing refineries as well as constructing new refineries, it is forecast that Iran will be enabled to export its excess gasoline production by 2013."

He added, "If all gasoline production plans become operational by 2013, gasoline production in the country will reach over 180 million liters per day."

From the said figure, 30 million to 35 million liters per day will be procured through increasing outputs of the existing refineries and 100 million liters per day will be added to the national gasoline production from new refineries."

He recalled that the present gasoline production capacity of the country is up to 45 million liters per day.

"Currently, domestic gasoline consumption level is close to 68 million liters per day and the remaining portion is procured through imports," he pointed out.

He also recalled that after implementation of the plan for rationing gasoline, consumption level of gasoline has reduced, which by itself helps facilitate exports in the future.

"Except Shiraz and Kermanshah refineries, other refineries of the country, including Abadan, Bandar Abbas, Lavan, Tehran, Tabriz, Arak and Isfahan will step up production and upgrade the quality of their products," he noted.

Eskandari underlined that the level of investment of the government and NIORDCNIORDC in new refineries is 20 percent and the remaining 80 percent is handled by the private sector.

"Construction of seven new refineries has started. If the needed financial means are procured, these projects will become operational in maximum 50 months," he concluded.

Iran and China sign oilfield development contract

15 Janvier 2009

TEHRAN (AFP)

Iran and China on Wednesday signed a 1.76 billion dollar contract for the initial development of the North Azadegan oil field in western Iran, an Iranian oil ministry official said.

The agreement between China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) and the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) foresees production from the field reaching 75,000 barrels a day in four years' time, the official said.

If that timetable is maintained, Iran may award CNPC the contract for the second phase, when production is scheduled to double.

The north Azadegan field is in Khuzestan province on the border with Iraq and has reserves of about six billion barrels of oil.

Western oil companies have refused to invest in Iran because of the controversy over its nuclear energy programme and Tehran has increasingly turned to Asian companies.

Outline agreements have been signed with several Asian companies but the deal between CNPC and NIOC is the first major oil sector contract finalised in recent years.

CNPC this month began work on developing the Al-Ahdab oil field in Iraq following the signing of a three billon dollar contract.

IRAN: There will be oil, and lots of it

Iran-oil

Iran-oil Iran is reporting huge new discoveries of oil that contain "billions" of barrels of reserves, state radio quoted the managing director of the country's National Oil Co. as saying today.

Seyfollah Jashnsaz said Iran has discovered seven new oil fields in unspecified locations around the country.

"Billions of barrels of oil will be added to the country's existing oil reserves," he said in comments broadcast on state radio.

Iran-oil According to Jashnsaz, just one of these oil fields has 9 billion barrels of oil.

"Even if we make calculations based on the minimum 12% recovery rate," he said, "it means that 1 billion barrels of oil can be recovered from this field alone."

He added that further details of the find will be announced by the country's minister of oil in coming days.
