TEHRAN — Tatneft signed a $1 billion contract with Iran to restart production at the Persian Gulf nation's Zagheh oil field.
The deal was signed in Tehran on Sunday between the Tatarstan region oil producer and Iran's Petroleum and Engineering Development, the Iranian Oil Ministry said on its news web site Shana on Sunday.
The field in southwestern Iran would start by producing about 7,000 barrels a day of heavy crude, with output eventually rising to 55,000 barrels a day, Shana said. The Zagheh field had been inactive for several years, the state-run Mehr news agency said Saturday.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
