The illusion of the counter-revolutionary media about Iran’s gas structure in the Caspian Sea / Behind the scenes scenario of the destruction of Iran’s relations with Russia and China

Undoubtedly, Iran’s main priority in foreign trade is the development of international economic cooperation with neighboring countries and the region, East Asia and other independent countries, or in the bloc against the United States in the form of bilateral trading partners, an issue in the foreign policy of the 13th government. Is taken into consideration.

“China” and “Russia” are two countries that have a high capacity to expand economic interactions with Iran and neutralize US sanctions. Of course, this change in the foreign policy of the Iranian government has never been pleasing to the West, especially the Americans, and the country is trying in various ways to prevent the formation of strategic cooperation between the three sides of Iran, China and Russia as a club of sanctions.

In the meantime, one of the US plans to prevent the formation of economic interactions between the three countries of Iran, China and Russia, to spread false news and to create a media attack with the aim of destroying the image of Iran-affiliated countries in the public mind has been defined.

* Oil Price’s claim about the transfer of the Chalous gas field to Russia and China

It seems that the scenario of the pro-US media to tarnish the image of Russia and China in the public mind of the Iranian people is defined by the fact that first one of the foreign media called “Oil Price”, which has a seemingly expert image in oil and energy, took action. He spreads a false news about Iran’s energy interactions with Russia and China, and then this false news is spread in cyberspace with the widespread support of hostile media such as BBC Persian, Manoto, Iran International and Radio Farda.

In the latest move, Oil Price recently claimed in a report entitled “Russia Biggest Move Yet To Take Control Of The European Gas Market” that “Russia and China have a larger share of the Chalous gas field than Iran” (Figure 1).

Figure 1

In part of the new Oil Price report Come“Last week, a contract was finalized to develop Iran’s multibillion-dollar new gas exploration in the Chalous field, in which Russian companies, followed by Chinese companies, and only then Iranians, will have a major stake. “Chalous is located in the Iranian part of the Caspian Sea, which has full sovereignty over the Islamic Republic.”

“Previously, estimates by Iran and Russia indicated that Chalous had about 3.5 trillion cubic meters of gas at the site,” the Oil Price report said. This figure is equivalent to about a quarter of the reserves of the South Pars gas field. However, as now exclusively for OilPrice.com It has been revealed that after further studies by Russia, the gas figure in this field is 7.1 trillion cubic meters. “As a result, Iran becomes the world’s largest holder of gas reserves, considering the Chalous field.”

The Oil Price report also states: “Following the improvement in the estimation of gas reserves in Chalous and the increase in gas prices across Europe in recent weeks, the division of shares in the Chalous gas complex is as follows: Russia’s Gazprom and Transneft together share 40% in China’s CNPC and CNOOC together will have a 28 percent stake, and the Caspian Oil Company will have only a 25 percent stake in the Iranian-controlled gas field. “Of course, the real management on the Iranian side will be in the hands of hydrocarbon companies close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.”

* Iran has no discovered gas field in the southern Caspian region

In response to Oil Price’s claim, there is a simple and key point that cotton all the threads of this media to destroy Iran’s relations with Russia and China:

In the Iranian-ruled Caspian region, 24 hydrocarbon structures have been identified, of which only one, the Sardar Jangal oil field, has been discovered. .

In other words, in the area under Iranian rule in the Caspian Sea, there is no field called “Chalous gas field”, but we are talking about the existence of a structure called Chalous in which oil and gas can be discovered, but exploration operations are still underway to discover oil and gas fields. Not done in Chalous structure.

According to current practices in the upstream oil and gas industry, the existence of a hydrocarbon structure such as the Chalous structure is confirmed after successful geophysical studies, and it is after the drilling operation that the structure is determined to be oil or gas.

* Oil Price illusion about Iran’s hydrocarbon structures in the Caspian Sea

So, in general, the steps of discovering a gas field and estimating the volume of gas in its place are such that first, after conducting geophysical studies, a decision is made about the presence or absence of hydrocarbon structure in different areas. If confirmed by studies, the area is known as a hydrocarbon structure in which oil and gas fields are likely to exist.

In the next stage, the Ministry of Oil seeks to discover gas and oil fields in that area by drilling exploration wells in the areas related to the identified hydrocarbon structure. In the exploratory drilling phase, it is very likely that there will be no gas or oil fields in the hydrocarbon structure at all.

As a result, no gas field has been discovered in the Iranian-occupied Caspian region at all, and it is unclear how Oil Price not only announces the discovery of a gas field in the Chalous region, but also determines the volume of gas in its place and then surprisingly combines shareholders. It also identifies the Chalous gas complex and claims that Iran has ceded this imaginary gas field under its ownership to Russia and China!

Interestingly, this Oil Price report is accompanied by news coverage of dissenting media (Figure 2).

* Oil Price’s history in publishing false news about Iran-Russia interactions

Of course, this is not the first time that Oil Price has sought to present a false analysis of Iran’s interactions with Russia and China by publishing false reports. On August 28 this year, the site claimed in a report entitled “Iran Huge Caspian Gas Find Is A Geopolitical Gamechanger” (Figure 3): “Chalous field has gas reserves equivalent to one-fourth of the huge South Pars gas field or about 11 phases. “According to the Iranian ambassador to Russia, Kazem Jalali, under the 20-year agreement with Russia, the amount of exports, prices and destinations of this gas by Iran will be coordinated with Russia.”

This price claim was also made in the August report of this year while:

1. According to the Caspian Oil Company, no field called Chalous has been discovered at all in the company’s field of activity, and there are only speculations about the possibility of a gas field in the structure of Chalous.
2. If the existence of a gas field is proved and discovered, the volume of gas in this field is not in accordance with the said estimates and according to Description The National Oil Company’s exploration management is likely to record low gas volumes on the spot.
3. Kazem Jalali, Iran’s ambassador to Russia, has denied the allegations made in the Oil Price report.
4. The draft of the 20-year contract had not yet been sent by Iran to the Russian side, the provisions of which now include this imaginary gas field.
5. According to the Caspian Oil Company, so far there has been no cooperation with Russia in the Chalous structure, not even to explore the field.

Fars News Agency in the past in a report entitled “Duplicate foreign media series to destroy Iran-Russia relations / Has the Chalous gas field been handed over to the Russians?Explains in detail the claims of Oil Price and the counter-revolutionary media about the Chalous gas structure.

In general, one of the media techniques that makes it easy for the audience to accept the false news is to present the false news to the audience with fake details. The technique is seen in the Oil Price reports on the Chalous gas structure, and the author speaks with confidence about the details of the Iran-China-Russia field development agreement, which is essentially non-existent.
