Tracer Petroleum Corporation reported that it has been invited by a major "bonyad," or "Foundation," in the Islamic Republic of Iran to participate in the potential development of a large offshore oil field appraisal and development project in Iran. No further details were disclosed.
Tracer's technical staff and consultants had completed their due diligence on the technical information on the project that was made available, and will pursue the appraisal and development of the oil field in a joint venture with the bonyad.
