The platform jacket for the Phase 11 of South Pars Gas Field is ready in Qeshm Island and will be installed on its location in the Persian Gulf before the current Iranian year is out (March 19), managing director of Petropars Group said.
“The drilling rig will be put on the jacket in the coming months and with the completion of other installations, gas production is expected to start by the summer of 2022,” the Oil Ministry news agency Shana quoted Hamid-Reza Masoudi as saying.
Phase 11, which is the last phase of South Pars Gas Field, is in the vicinity of Iran-Qatar joint water frontier.
In 2017 the project was assigned to Petropars in cooperation with Total of France and CNPC of China. However, due to the mounting US pressure and new sanctions in 2018, the two companies fearing America’s wrath walked away from the project.
