Following the US’ imposition of strict sanctions against Iran’s oil industry. Tehran has adopted self-sufficient policies to soft-pedal the influence of Washington’s harsh policies.
In July. Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh announced that the country successfully completed installing a super-size drilling rig at South Pars gas field in the Persian Gulf. the largest in the world. without any foreign company involved after Tehran made its industries self-sufficient to defy the US unilateral sanctions.
Zanganeh announced on July 13 that the 2.400-ton platform. dubbed SPD-14B. had been mounted earlier in the day by Iranian crew and experts in Persian Gulf waters off the Southern Iranian coast.
Iran has sought to increase its daily production at oil and gas fields despite sanctions imposed by the United States which restricts Tehran’s ability for export.
Zanganeh had said earlier this year that Iran’s gas production at South Pars had already exceeded 21.5 billion feet (610 million cubic meters) per day. adding that Iran’s share of daily production at the field had dwarfed that of Qatar.
