EghtesadOnline: Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said serious negotiations are underway to develop Iran's hydrocarbon deposits, including Azadegan, Yadavaran and Yaran, major oilfields in the oil-rich Khuzestan Province.

EghtesadOnline: Attracting much-needed foreign funds and having access to cutting-edge drilling know-how are among the most essential elements to develop untapped hydrocarbon deposits in the Caspian Sea, the construction and engineering manager in Khazar Exploration and Production Company said.

EghtesadOnline: The shadow of political disputes hanging over the development of Iran's massive hydrocarbon deposits and its new model of oil contracts will seriously undermine national interests, the deputy oil minister for international affairs said.
