The deep water project is in the initial stage of exploration

According to the economic correspondent of Fars news agency, the head of the center and the secretary of the soft technologies and creative industries staff of the presidential vice president for science and technology in response to the report published in Fars news agency entitled “The untold stories of the deep water project in Sistan and Baluchistan / Is Iran on the sea of ​​underground water?” has provided explanations.

The explanation of this answer is as follows:

The video and data provided are not related to the deep water project and are from years ago in another country, and unfortunately, the information and data provided in the report are not scientifically correct. Deep water studies in Iran have been started since 2014 and during these years there have been ups and downs, however, what is important for the scientific and technological assistant is to achieve exploration, drilling and identification and processing technologies and many technologies that are in the light of this The project is developed.

It is clear that deep water, like many other technologies, has advantages and disadvantages that should be exploited in its place according to environmental, economic and social considerations. The use of these waters has a long history in the world, and for example, in Australia, since about 130 years ago, these sources have been continuously used for drinking and industrial purposes, however, the information of deep aquifers, such as the information of oil fields, is considered as part of the confidential information of countries and can be published. It is not public and only in the form of confidentiality protocols, the information is provided to the relevant authorities and in the case of concluding specific research contracts with confidentiality.

So far, extensive studies have been done in the whole country to identify these aquifers. In addition to extensive studies of geological structures, more than 7000 points up to a depth of 10 km have been analyzed by MT and AMT, and new seismic studies have been carried out in large areas, or seismic studies of the National Iranian Oil Company have been used.

Through these studies, three-dimensional models of deep water bedrock reservoirs have been simulated and based on the drilling of exploratory wells of these models. They will reach certainty. It is obvious that the country is in the initial stages of exploration and exploitation and is still reducing costs and making the relevant calculation models more accurate.

So far, 4 research wells have been drilled that have provided valuable information for the development of this technology in the Sistan aquifer, contrary to the claim made in the artesian water report, and only to increase the exploitation of well pumps with specifications close to normal pumps at depths surface is used.

For this reason, the pumping costs are very low, but depending on the quality of the extracted water, different technologies can be used for water processing, as an example of this issue has been implemented in Sistan and the output water is used.

Contrary to the claim of the report, the exploratory well with a depth of 3800 meters has not been dug yet, and the volume of the reservoirs is calculated in the same way as the oil and gas reservoirs. Fortunately, the high knowledge of the country in the field of exploration and extraction of oil and gas reservoirs has been very effective for the development of this industry, but in any case, we have to wait until the finalization of all exploration stages.

According to Fars, The answer provided by the head of the center and the secretary of the staff of soft technologies and creative industries of the presidential vice president for science and technology questioned the authenticity of the film reflected in the Fars report, which is stated at the beginning of the text of the report, “Recently, a film in space A video has been released, showing an image of an artesian well being drilled, and in this video, it is claimed that there is a huge underground aquifer deep in Iran. Apart from the fact that the content of the published film is related to 2017“The release of this film has once again exposed the deep water project.”

Based on this, Fars news agency, knowing that the content of the film is not correct, has accurately stated this issue in the report.

It is noteworthy that in the answer provided by the head of the center and the secretary of the staff of soft technologies and creative industries of the Presidential Vice President for Science and Technology, the confidentiality of this project is emphasized, but there is a question, why despite the confidentiality clause in this project, each of Sometimes a vague picture of the presence of the people involved in this project is published next to one of the exploratory wells, and before the studies come to a conclusion, it leads to creating hope in the people.

The important point in the mentioned answer is to emphasize this point, the studies conducted in connection with deep waters are in the initial stages of exploration and exploitation.
