Since implementation of the Iran nuclear deal (known as JCPOA) in January 2016, Iran and Russia have signed a number of agreements to cooperate in development of Iran’s oilfields.
In mid-March, the National Iranian Oil Company and a consortium comprising Russia’ Zarubezhneft Company and Iran’s Dana Energy Company inked a deal to develop Aban and Paydar-e Gharb oilfields in west of Iran.
