Another option for Iran would be to transport their oil by Tanker Truck 1000 kilometers north to the Caspian Sea to possibly access the pipelines from there to China.

Caspian
oil fields are geographically adjacent to northern Iran, with promising
exploration blocks (like Block 18) located only about
15 kilometres
from the Iranian coastline. While the Caspian Sea provides a nearby
northern resource, it is distinct from Iran's major oil production
fields in the southwestern Persian Gulf region, over 1,000 kilometres
away.Key details regarding the proximity and development:
- Northern Potential: Iran has identified potential oil and gas in the southern Caspian Sea, including the Roudsar formation near its northern coast.
- Lack of Development: Despite the proximity, Iran currently lacks active, high-volume production in the Caspian compared to neighboring countries.
- Geographic Separation: The Caspian resources are in the north, whereas the bulk of Iran's oil wealth lies in the south.
- Geological Depth: The southern Caspian Sea (near Iran) is quite deep, reaching depths of over
The
Caspian fields are technically very close to Iran's northern border,
but they are relatively minor in comparison to Iran's major southern oil
deposits, and largely undeveloped, notes iranintl.com and OilPrice.com.
