Lunching a 20,000 barrel per day production target at the Yadavaran oilfield and 10,000 bpd at each at the Sarvestan and Saadatabad oilfields are those among the named projects.
The National Iranian Oil Company's managing director Ahmad Qalebani has said that the country's daily oil and gas outputs should amount to five million barrels and 1.47 billion cubic metres by 2015.
Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi said in August 2011 that the Iranian government should consider plans for the development of joint oilfields. The government should increase its budgets for the development of joint oilfields, Mr Qasemi added.
"The oil industry's infrastructure needs more than 500 trillion rials (about $41 billion) of investment to achieve the objectives of the 20-Year Outlook Plan," Mr Qasemi was quoted as saying.
