Aghajari Gas Injection Project-Gas Gathering and Injection to Southern Oil Fields
The reservoir dimension of Aghajari fields is 56*6 kms with the orginal oil-in-place of 28 bn barrels and 10.2 bn barrels of recoverable oil (based on latest studies). The total quantities extracted since the start of operations at Aghajari till this date have been 8.8 bn barrels. However, production has been on the decline because of loss of pressure and oil extraction, so that current output is 200,000 barrels a day. With injection operations of 20 trillion cubic feet of gas from the south pars field and subsequent buildup of pressure, an additional quantity of 1.2 bw barrels of oil will be produced. It is also estimated that daily crude oil output of the field will increase to 300,000 barrels a day.
