The Aghajari oil field is an iranian oil field located in Khuzestan Province. It was discovered by Anglo-Persian Oil Company in 1938 and developed by National Iranian Oil Company.[1] It began production in 1940 and produces oil. The total proven reserves of the Aghajari oil field are around 30 billion barrels (3758×10^6tonnes), and production is centered on 170,000 barrels per day (27,000 m^3/d).[2] The field is owned by state-owned National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) and operated by National Iranian South Oil Company (NISOC).[3] Aghajari Gas Injection Project is aimed at boosting production from this aging field.
