Please pass on the essential parts. The NY Times site wants too much for a quick read.
Thanks

Deal To Develop Iranian Oil Field

Filed at 11:51 a.m. EDT

By The Associated Press

PARIS (AP) -- A consortium made up of Canada's Bow Valley Energy
Ltd. and Elf Petroleum Iran has agreed to develop Iran's offshore Balal oil
field.

The cost of the project is estimated at $300 million, and the first oil from
Balal -- some 40,000 barrels a day -- is expected in 2001.

Balal is 60 miles southwest of Lavan Island in the Persian Gulf. Reserves
there are estimated at 100 million barrels of ''good quality oil,'' France's Elf
Aquitaine said in a statement Sunday.

Elf Petroleum Iran is a subsidiary of Paris-based Elf Aquitaine.

The consortium is to be reimbursed and paid in crude oil in the six-year
contract with Iran's national oil company, the statement said.
