TEHRAN – National Iranian South Oil Company (NISOC) plans to develop 28 oil reserves in southern Iran through operation-based contracts, Shana reported on Tuesday quoting NISOC’s managing director.

“In this regard, 29 investment packages have been defined among which 11 packages received necessary licenses to go on tender” Bijan Alipour said.
According to the official, with these reserves developed, the company's oil production capacity will increase by 340,000 barrels over the next two years.
