The Nowruz Oil field is located 97 kilometres of Bahregan District. This oil field had 14 wells at the beginning and its installations were destroyed during the Imposed War. When the war was over, onshore and offshore installations of the field were temporarily reconstructed. Then, the development project and reconstruction of Nowruz oil field began in the form of buyback contract. This contract included: drilling 17 new wells, one drilling platform for production, and one well and one accommodation platform. When the project was completed in the first half of 2005, the daily oil production capacity was 90,000 barrels. The produced oil is transferred to Sorush oil field via a 22 inch pipeline and after the final treatment, it is stored into the Soorena, floating storage unit (F.S.U.) with a capacity of 2.2 million barres of oil.
