The Iranian leader said the oilfield has extended from Bostan district to Omidieh with the capacity of 53 billion barrels. Rouhani said the U.S. should realize that Iran is a rich country.
"Despite animosity and cruel sanctions, Iranian workers and engineers discovered a new oilfield," he said. The new discovery would mean that Iran’s proven crude oil reserves would be boosted by a third. Right now, Iran says it has some 150 billion barrels of proven crude oil reserves.
