1,450-Ton Rig Adds to South Pars Output

To boost output from the South Pars Gas Field, the third offshore deck of Phase 14 started natural gas production on Friday, the development manager said.
“The new platform (14B) has added 14 million cubic meters of gas per day to Phase 14’s total production at 42 mcm/d,” the Oil Ministry news portal Shana quoted Mohammad Mehdi Tavasolipour as saying.
Production in the giant field now is 644 mcm/d.
“The rig produces 100 tons of sulfur and 20,000 barrels of condensates a day,” he said, adding that it also helps process 250,000 tons of liquefied gas and 250,000 tons of ethane per annum.
