PETROFILM
Persian Carpet Seismic Project: A three-national project between Norway, Iran and the Peoples Republic of China.
It was the world's largest 2D Seismic Project at the time covering a total of 106.000 line kilometers in a dense 2x2 km grid stretching from North of the Persian Golf to the Oman Sea.
The Project took four years to complete and was originally initiated by Norex Group/Mid East Geophysical Alliance of Norway together with National Iranian Oil Company NIOC, China National Petroleum Company CNPC and CNPC's Bureau of Geophysical Prospecting, BGP.
Petrofilm documented the entire seismic project from 1999 till 2003 and also built good relations between the multi-cultural partners. Operational bases where in Dubai, on the Iranian island of Kish, in Tehran and Hendyjan at the outlet of the river delta in the north.
Terra is a multinational and multidisciplinary mission involving partnerships with the aerospace agencies of The United Sates, Canada and Japan.

IRAN MEGA POWER OF THE REGION
The PC 2000 Seismic Project covered all of the Iranian waters. Green spots are reserves of oil, while red spots are reserves of gas. The huge red spot in the "C and T" in "Project" is the world's single largest gas field stretching over from Qatar to Assaluyeh on the Iranian side. The field is called South Pars in Iran and The North Field on the Qatar side.
SOUTH PARS OIL & GAS
Field total reserves are estimated to be around 1800 tcf (51 tcm) gas in place and some 50 billion barrels of condensate in place.With in place reserves equivalent to 360 billion barrels of oil the field is the world’s biggest conventional hydrocarbon accumulation even bigger than Gawahr oil field with 170 billion barrels of original oil in place. The field recoverable gas reserve is equivalent to some 215 billion barrel of oil and it also holds about 16 billion barrels of recoverable condensate corresponding of about 230 billion barrel of oil equivalent recover- able hydrocarbons.

UN'S SCIENTIFIC PANEL
On Feb. 2, 2007, the United Nations scientific panel studying climate change declared that the evidence of a warming trend is "unequivocal," and that human activity has "very likely" been the driving force in that change over the last 50 years. The last report by the group, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, in 2001, had found that humanity had "likely" played a role.

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
The addition of that single word "very" did more than reflect mounting scientific evidence that the release of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases from smokestacks, tailpipes and burning forests has played a central role in raising the average surface temperature of the earth by more than 1 degree Fahrenheit since 1900. It also added new momentum to a debate that now seems centered less over whether humans are warming the planet, but instead over what to do about it. In recent months, business groups have banded together to make unprecedented calls for federal regulation of greenhouse gases.
"AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH"
The subject had a red-carpet moment when former Vice President Al Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," was awarded an Oscar; and the Supreme Court made its first global warming-related decision, ruling 5 to 4 that the Environmental Protection Agency had not justified its position that it was not authorized to regulate carbon dioxide.
