Iran – Iran has discovered a new oil field in the south-western province of Khuzestan with over 50 billion barrels of crude, informed Iran’s President, Hassan Rouhani on Sunday. The mega oil field stretches 2,400 sq km from Bostan to Omidiyeh and has an oil layer depth of 80 m (262 ft). He further stated that the new oil field would increase Iran's proven reserves (roughly 150 billion) by about a third. “Iran's oil revenues will increase by 32 billion dollars if extraction rate from the oil field increases only 1 %”, said the President.

An Economic Times report states that any company or government that buys Iran's oil faces harsh U.S. sanctions, the threat of which also stopped billions of dollars in business deals and sharply depreciated Iran's currency, the rial.
