Iran states that it has discovered gas field in Azerbaijan's territory
- Tuesday, June 19, 18:38
ArmInfo-Turan. Analyst of MENAS ASSOCIATES UK Alex Jackson does not exclude a possible conflict between Azerbaijan and Iran if the resources of Sardar-e Jangal oil and gas field located in the disputable section of the Caspian Sea are confirmed.
"If the current statements of Iran about the oil and gas resources of the field are confirmed, relationships between Iran and Azerbaijan could deteriorate," Jackson said at the "Development of Caspian Shelf 2012" oil and gas conference in Astana on June 14, 2012.
Discovery of Sardar-e Jangal oil and gas field was announced in December 2011 and in May 2012 Sardar Milli field was discovered on the same structure. "We do not have concrete figures now, but according to the Iran's estimates, the field could contain about 50 trillion cub.m. feet of gas and 10 billion barrels of oil. This is a very serious figure," the expert added.
He recalled that Iranian officials do not "name the place of location of the field." "There is information that it is located 250 km northwest of Neka port. This means that this is Azerbaijani territory, if Caspian Sea is divided along the medium line," Jackson added. "This is a very important issue. If the volume of resources is confirmed, then there will be a serious problem between Azerbaijan and Iran, which should be solved," he repeated.
One of the ways to solve the problem is Russia's interference. "This potential conflict between the two countries could make Russia to lead the remaining Caspian basin states and urge Iran to accept the position to the Caspian Sea status, so it would agree to 14% of water area instead of 20%," he said.
He believes that Iran could get a share in the operation of the disputable field. British analyst mentioned that he means "exceptionally the proposals" about the possibilities of the conflict and the ways of its solution.
"Many people are skeptical about Iran's statements about the resources of the field. The Iranian government tries to attach a special importance to this statement to make Iran the world producing country after all the problems it faced in the Persian Gulf after introduction of the sanctions," Jackson concluded.
