Gas Production Reaches 1b Cubic Meters a Day

Natural gas output has reached 1 billion cubic meters per day, managing director of the National Iranian Gas Company said Saturday.
"Iran is a major gas producer and daily output now is the equivalent of six million barrels of oil per day,” the Oil Ministry news agency Shana quoted Hassan Montazer Torbati as saying.
"With falling temperatures gas consumption in the domestic sector has surpassed 600 million cubic meters a day. Almost 130 mcm is used daily by power plants," he said.
