Optimum depletion of oil reservoirs has been emphasized many times by Iranian supreme laws. To promote the effectiveness of the older version of Iranian Petroleum Contract (Buyback), Islamic Republic of Iran's Petroleum Ministry is allowed by law to design a new type of petroleum contract. Recently, new contract, so called IPC, is unveiled. Dorood oil field is one of the field which has been developed under Buyback contract. Many experts believe that, in this case, Buyback could not fulfill field's optimum production targets planned by NIOC. According to this claims and to evaluate how effective is IPC regarding to fulfilling optimum production, here, we tried to compare optimum production in neutral state (NIOC view) and what is expected to come out under IPC contractual limitations (IOC view). In the first step, optimum production paths were modeled and calculated using Dynamic Optimization Method under three different scenarios (reference, attractive and strict) and later data were analyzed. Results clearly show IPC's distortionary effect which means there is separation between NIOC and IOC's optimal production paths. So as a result, under IPC limitations contractor could not meet the production profile which NIOC targeted. IPC could not motivate the contractor to use EOR method in the field to promote the production as well. In all scenarios, contractor prefer to choose no injection or injection of a limited level of fluid into the reservoir as the optimum scenario.

Articles 14 and 15 of the Grand Policies of Resilient Economy emphasize the following two principles: i) «Enhancing the strategic reserves of Iranian oil and gas … and improving the production capacities …» and ii) Observing the “maximum efficient rate of recovery (within IOR/EOR programs). Hence، oil contracts are optimum upon the satisfaction of these two principles. An emphasis is also given، in the introduction to the Grand Policies of the Resilient Economy، as to the necessity of «an economy based on knowledge and technology، founded on [the principles of] justice، endogenously driven with outward-looking approach، dynamic and progressive.» The application of these four requirements in designing optimum oil contracts may provide four other principles، namely، improving technical-managerial capability of NIOC، securing the inter-generational interests in exploitation of oil reservoirs، transforming NIOC to a national-international oil company، and attaining a competitive status in the global oil market. From the above-mentioned six principles، this paper examines optimum oil contracts by using MER and IOR/EOR principles only، with a brief reference to NIOC technical-managerial improvement. We have shown that the structural conflicts between the objectives of IOCs and NIOC، i. e.، the profit maximization within the principles of profit-seeking corporations، and the economic value maximization of reservoirs within the framework of securing long-term national interests، will make it impossible to conclude an optimum contract with IOCs satisfying the requirements of the resilient economy. This paper concludes that the only contracts which are compatible with the principles of resilient economy are technical and managerial support and cooperation contracts with oil service companies.
