GlobalData’s latest analysis of crude oil production in Iran shows that about $21bn in capital expenditure (capex) would be spent by Iran on oil projects over the next four years to ensure that production grows to around 4.9 million barrel per day (mmbd) in 2021. The region will have 66 fields producing liquid hydrocarbons by 2021, of which 38 and nine are conventional and heavy oil fields, while 19 are gas fields producing condensate.
Iran is expected to spend $13.1bn as capex on conventional oil and $7.9bn on heavy oil projects during 2018 to 2021, with spending topping in 2019 at $5.7bn. Average full cycle capex per barrel of oil equivalent for Iran’s oil projects is $3.6. Onshore projects have an average full cycle capex of $3.0 per barrel of oil equivalent, while shallow water projects have an average of $5.3 per barrel of oil equivalent in full cycle capex.
