Iran's total national production of oil has been increased by 23,000 barrels per day and daily natural gas production by 5.8 million cubic meters, according to a National Iranian Central Oilfields Company official.
The rise is the result of drilling operations carried out by the National Iranian Central Oilfields Company (NICOC) at ten wells in a three-month period.
NICOC drilling activities director Hossein Shurab, also said the NICOC also intends to drill seven new wells in the Servestan and Saadatabad oil fields.
