Official: Iran’s Siri Island Enjoys Oil Storage Capacity of 5 Million Barrels

Mousavi said that the oil produced in Siri is exported via an export dock capable of accommodating tankers with a capacity of up to 1.5 million barrels. The produced oil is stored in tanks and exported once it reaches a certain volume.

Currently, the active oil storage capacity on Siri Island is 5 million barrels, he added.

Siri Island, also known as Raz Island, is Iran’s southernmost island and the last piece of Iranian territory in the heart of the Persian Gulf. It is the country’s most oil-rich island, where oil is extracted and exported from five fields: Nosrat, Esfand, Sivand, Dena, and Alvand.

Siri Island, or Raz Island, is one of Iran’s most significant oil-producing islands. Once entirely dedicated to oil operations, the island now also hosts a growing military presence. Unlike other Iranian islands, Siri has no indigenous population.
