More news is filtering out over Iran's Namavaran discovery in Khuzestan (DEA 12 Nov '19). The field is touted as Iran's '2nd biggest find', the newly-established reservoir adding 22 Bbo to the known 31.3 Bbo reservoir â total 53 Bbo in-place in an zone thought to comprise the Mansuri, Sepehr, Susangerd and Ab-E-Teimur field areas. Further hope is being placed in exploration of S. parts of the reservoir at the Darkhovein field. Any recovery, thought to be ca. 10%, will be sanction-hampered.
Press has been rife with reports of a super-discovery in Khuzestan, designated Namavaran and assumed made by NIOC. The fields reservoir reportedly sits at a depth of 3100m with an average thickness of approximately 80m. The massive reserves quoted (53 Bbo) are thought to be attributable to parts of the Mansuri, Sepehr, Susangerd and Ab-E-Teimur fields, in the Oligo-Miocene Gachsaran or Asmari Fm's. The new reservoir would feature an already-respectable 22,2 Bbo of additional reserves, assumed to be in-place, possibly ~10% recovery factor.
