Following the order of Irans Oil Minister Bijan Zanganeh to retain China in the second developmental project of Yadavaran oilfield, a new round of negotiations has begun with the East Asian country to determine the rate of Return on Investment (ROI) as well as the implementation timetable.
Executive manager of the Development Project of Yadavaran oilfield Hadi Nazarpour described the talks with the Chinese side saying China's Sinopec offered the master development plant (MDP) to develop the second phase of Yadavaran oil field.
Emphasizing that the details of the development project are currently being negotiated with China, the official estimated that the talks will soon reach a conclusion.
At the present time, the volume of crude production at Yadavaran field has reached 95 thousand barrels per day, underlined Nazarpour asserting 75 thousand barrels of the produced crude is of light oil type.
He recalled that the field's first phase development project aimed to increase production to 85 thousand barrels per day adding at the moment, a total of 95 thousand barrels are being harvested from the oilfield which exceeds the envisaged figure by 10,000 barrels.

Moreover, pipelines and two oil rows will be added to the processing plant in order to realize the aim of producing 180 thousand barrels per day.
