IOSC tendered the Handling/Lifting/Transportation Services to TotalFinaElf for its Dorood project in May 2001 together with a tender for Agency Services or the same project. The Dorood project involves drilling an offshore well south of Kharg Island and drilling 27 wells onshore on Kharg Island itself.

The offshore programme lasted for about one year whereas the onshore programme continues for 2½ years.

IOSC has been successful with its tender and is presently providing the logistics services from Bushehr for offshore and from Kharg Island in support of the onshore drilling programme.

Mobilisation for Kharg/Bushehr commenced late in June 2001.
