Statoiland Hydro compete for Iranian oil

London, Oct 18, IRNA -- Norway`s two largest energy companies, Hydro
and Statoil are competing against each other to develop Iran`s giant
Yadavaran oil field, Oslo daily Aftenposten reported Monday.
Hydro was said to be also engaged in the latest round of bids for
new exploration licenses in Iran, while Statoil is already involved
in the development of South Pars gas field.
Deputy head for development affairs Seyyed Mahdi Hosseini said
last month that five international companies, including Royal Dutch
Shell and Repsol of Spain, had presented their proposals to a tender
for developing Yadavaran in southern Iran.
Yadavaran, which is estimated to have reserves of 17 billion
barrels, is the new name for both Koushk and Hosseiniyeh oil fields
after it was discovered they were connected.
The field is thought to be capable of producing an average of
300,000-400,000 barrels per day. The results of the bids are expected
to be announced within the next few months.
