South Pars to Boost Gas Output by 11%

Natural gas production in the giant South Pars Gas Field in the Persian Gulf will increase by 70 million cubic meters per day before the calendar year is out, managing director of Pars Oil and Gas Company, a subsidiary of state-owned National Iranian Oil Company that oversees the development of gas fields, said. 
“Iran will produce at least 700 mcm of natural gas per day from South Pars by March 2020, up 11% compared to the current output at 630 mcm/d,” Mohammad Meshkinfam was quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry’s news portal.
He said hook up operations on Deck 23 and the satellite rig 24B (installed in early November) have been carried out and the two platforms will transfer 56 mcm of sour gas to onshore refineries which will be injected into the  Iran Gas Trunkline (IGAT).  
IGAT is a series of nine large diameter pipelines built to supply gas from refineries in the south (Khuzestan and Bushehr provinces) across the country.
