Iranian Crude Oil Production Remains Onshore in Khuzestan Province
What happened
Iranian crude oil is produced onshore in the southwestern province of Khuzestan, specifically from the Ahvaz, Gachsaran, Marun, and Aghajari oilfields. The country also produces crude offshore in the Gulf. Domestic oil is largely refined in coastal areas near the producing fields due to the Zagros Mountains.
Why it matters
While pipelines exist to supply Tehran and northwestern Iran, reports indicate there is currently no means of getting Iranian crude in bulk from the onshore areas. This logistical shortfall could affect global oil availability and pricing.
