During the ceremony, Seyed Saleh Hendi, director of the NIOC exploration department, said the company under his supervision has made a new discovery every year since the revolution, with the exception of six years which were coincident with the Iran-Iraq war.
He said the atlas entails all the oil and gas discoveries in Iran over the past four decades.
During this period, a total of 73 fields including 36 oil and 37 gas fields have been discovered in Iran, Hendi said. The fields also include 26 border and joint fields.
According to the officials, all the oil recovered in the country over the past four decades has been replaced by new explorations, and conditions in the gas fields are far better as gas reserves are eight times the amount of gas recovered during this period.104/219
