NIOC told the mission that a Korean company had received a contract to build five one-million-barrel tanks and one 500,000-barrel tank at Kharg. The annex recorded a reconstruction contract, not...

The mission noted that southern-field cost estimates included technological updating and gas-reinjection facilities. It argued that these items should not all enter an accounting of strictly...

After attacks, pipelines on the northbound Abadan route were rerouted and buried in two major areas. Station equipment was placed underground or shielded with sand-filled concrete blocks; these...

Rebuilding had begun at Naftshahr, where the production facility was reportedly dismantled and taken across the Iraqi border. Iran aimed to restore 30,000 barrels per day, with crude destined for...

The annex reported offshore production across five areas at 242,000 barrels per day, compared with 870,000 before the war. This regional production comparison is distinct from the capacity or recovery...

Of 80 installations struck across Iran’s offshore production area, 32 were completely destroyed, the annex reported. The count concerns installations, not the number of attacks, wells or all platforms...
