TEHRAN, (MILLAT+APP/AFP) – Iran signed
preliminary agreements with Russia’s Gazprom on Tuesday to develop two major oil fields in the latest of a flurry of deals with foreign firms, local media reported.
The deals open the way for Gazprom to carry out studies at the
Cheshmekosh and Changouleh fields near the border with Iraq, according to the Shana news agency, which is linked to the oil ministry.
That adds to five other oil fields that have already been earmarked
for Russian firms Lukoil, Tatneft and Zarubezhneft.
The latest deal was signed by Russian Energy Minister Alexander
Novak, who is visiting Tehran with a 500-strong business delegation.
