The Infowarrior says:

Iran already Holds around 10% of the worlds oil supply beneath its soil.

"Susangerd oil field is in Iran's southwestern Khuzestan Province, 12 km (7.5 miles) southwest of the town of Susangerd. Its dimensions are 24 x 6 km (14.9 x 3.7 miles).

The discovery was planned by the Directorate of Exploration of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), which after acquisition and analysis of the data determined that the Susangerd oil field had new potentials."
