The chief executive of the National Iranian Gas Company said the first gas train at Refinery 6 of the South Pars Gas Complex will return to production this year. Three phases with a committed capacity of about 94 million cubic meters a day are already back, and actual recovered capacity on that path is close to 100 million cubic meters a day.
The chief executive of Petropars Group, a subsidiary of the Oil Ministry, said gas production capacity at location B of South Pars Phase 11 has reached 1 billion cubic feet a day after all 12 wells at the site came on stream during the 14th government.
The acting head of the South Pars Phase 11 development project said the phase’s twelfth well is ready to enter production and that the last well at location SPD11B in the first development stage has moved into test flow and output monitoring.
The chief executive of the South Pars Gas Complex said turnaround work at six of the complex’s refineries is finished and that the plants are ready to operate with higher readiness and stable, maximum gas production in the cold months.
The manager of Refinery 7 at the South Pars Gas Complex said two important results were recorded during this year’s turnaround and that, relying on Iranian crews, replacement of the floor of one amine tank was cut from a planned 28 days to six days.
The chief executive of Pars Oil and Gas Company said South Pars has set a record of 730 million cubic meters of gas a day and that 30 million cubic meters have been added to the field’s stable rich-gas production capacity over the past two years.
Metering equipment at the South Pars gas-condensate terminal in Asaluyeh — including 13 damaged meter blades — has been rebuilt.
The production and operations manager of Pars Oil and Gas Company said a specialized offshore valve-repair workshop has been set up, cutting South Pars platform downtime and returning units to production faster. The change has prevented a shutdown of 28 million cubic meters of gas a day and generated more than $5 million in economic savings.
The National Iranian Gas Company’s director of integrated planning said enemy attacks damaged the country’s gas facilities and that four South Pars refineries were hit in the third imposed war. From the first moments, he said, crews worked to contain the incidents, form crisis teams, cut refinery feedstock, and plan the reconstruction and recovery of lost capacity.
The CEO of the South Pars Gas Complex said the facility’s refineries are fully prepared to keep winter gas flowing and are making maximum use of Iranian knowledge-based companies.
Part of the oil-industry capacity lost in the third imposed war should be available by the end of the Iranian year in March 2027, after the cold season, and the rest in the first half of the following year, Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad said.
The second propane tank at the South Pars Phases 22–24 refinery has entered service with domestically made cryogenic pumps, and the first export cargo from the tank has been loaded.
The eighth refinery at the South Pars Gas Complex has begun a major overhaul covering 1,542 maintenance jobs aimed at safer, more stable gas production.
Well-intervention operations have been carried out on three South Pars gas platforms to make wells safer and support stable gas production.
Reconstruction work on Phase 11 of South Pars has accelerated as Iran uses every available lever to raise gas production and supply, Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad said.
Pars Oil and Gas Company (POGC) has revised production, maintenance and development plans for the shared South Pars field to match constraints created after the wars, the acting head of the company’s petroleum and gas engineering department said.
Aghajari Oil and Gas Production Company has completed safety work on naphtha and LPG pipelines that supply feedstock to petrochemical units in Mahshahr, Managing Director Seyed Mohsen Dehbanpour said.
Pars Oil and Gas Company (POGC) is accelerating reconstruction of damaged South Pars refineries to bring lost output from the shared field back online sooner, Managing Director Touraj Dehghani said.
The third meeting on transferring experience and lessons from debris removal and reconstruction at four damaged refineries in the South Pars Gas Complex was held with an emphasis on cross-unit coordination and a rapid return of the plants to production.
