TEHRAN-- Iran's Oil Minister Rostam Qassemi said here Sunday a reservoir containing an estimated amount of 50 trillion cubic feet of gas was discovered in the Caspian Sea.
Speaking to reporters, he said the reservoir, which is located 700 meters deep in the sea bottom, is close to the borderline waters. The minister stressed that the discovery of the reservoir will immensely affect the standard of life in the northern parts of the country. The reservoir definitely contains gas but it is estimated to contain oil as well, he said. Iran, which holds the second-largest gas reserves in the world, shares Russia, Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan in the sources of the Caspian Sea.
