According to the National Iranian Oil Company, Ahmadreza Rasti, during a visit to review the project\u2019s progress, said the new phase will be launched following months of accelerated activity. He added that with continuous follow-up and support from the NIOC managing director, the Abuzar pipeline project has entered a new implementation stage after overcoming challenges caused by sanctions and long-standing technical issues.<\/p>\n

Rasti said coating operations for the new pipelines, carried out using modern technology and entirely domestic expertise, have been completed at the Bandar Mahshahr facilities and are now continuing at the Khorramshahr yard. He added that preparations are also underway to equip and ready a specialized pipe-laying vessel built with domestic engineering and manufacturing capabilities. The Iranian Offshore Engineering and Construction Company, the project\u2019s contractor, has pledged to complete this phase.<\/p>\n

Rasti noted that, according to the project\u2019s schedule and contractor commitments, the pipe-laying vessel\u2014fully equipped with domestic technology and supported by the Iranian Offshore Oil Company\u2014is expected to begin offshore operations soon. He called this a key step toward self-sufficiency and sustainable development in Iran\u2019s oil industry.<\/p>\n

He added that the replacement pipeline, which caused a temporary production halt last year due to a leak, has been repaired and restored in recent months through the continued efforts of the company\u2019s experts.<\/p>\n

Rasti said that during this process, safety, isolation and in-service cleaning protocols were carefully implemented, allowing the gradual return of the pipeline to operational status and the steady increase of oil transmission capacity. He described the measures taken at the Abuzar field as a testament to the capability, knowledge and dedication of the Iranian Offshore Oil Company\u2019s specialists in ensuring stable production and safeguarding national resources.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
