TEHRAN, Feb. 2 (UPI) -- Iranian Oil Minister Hossein Nozari" class="tpstyle">Gholam Hossein Nozari said Saturday a large gas field has been located in the Persian Gulf.
Speaking at a news conference in Tehran, Nozari said an Indian company found a gas field with about11 trillion cubic feet in reserves off the coast of Iran, the Alalam news service reported.

Nozari also said his country wants the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, to which Iran belongs, to cut its crude oil output in the near future.
"Our proposal ... for the upcoming meeting is that OPEC ... cuts its output capacity," Nozari said of OPEC's schedule meeting in March. "Iran and Venezuela brought up this issue so that it would be discussed at OPEC's next meeting."
