Iranโ€™s oil sector weathers US pressure from Hormuz blockade

 

Refining capacity, reservoir characteristics and long experience in the field give Tehran a margin of months before suffering serious damage, experts say

 

Several experts have pointed out in recent weeks that an oil field is not a faucet that can be opened and closed at will. To greatly simplify a complex technical explanation, they have warned of how difficult it can be to restart production at a field once it has been shut down. The most frequently cited case is that of oil wells with a high water cut, which may stop flowing naturally โ€” or flow at much lower rates โ€” if production is halted and later restarted.

 

A study on the resilience of Iranโ€™s oil sector, published by the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University, directly rejects that widely cited scenario: โ€œExcessive ingress of water from the reservoir into the well, is a possible consequence of over-production, not of shutting in wells as some commentary has suggested.โ€

 

After analyzing the characteristics of Iranian oil fields, the report also concludes that, in general, they โ€œdo not include most of the cases where production restarts could be difficult.โ€ This analysis โ€œsuggests that the U.S. blockade of Iranโ€™s oil exports will not cause catastrophic, or even very serious, damage to its upstream oil industry. If and when the blockade is relaxed, Iran will probably be able to resume production promptly [โ€ฆ] and regain most of its pre-war capacity within a few months.โ€
