100-Km Mahshahr Gas Pipeline Will Double Feedstock Supply

Pipe-laying work in Mahshahr Petrochemical Special Economic Zone (Petzone), Khuzestan Province, has been completed, operator of the project said.
“The 100-km branches off from the 5th Iran Gas Trunkline (IGAT-5) and will increase gas supply as feedstock to petrochemical plants in Mahshahr by 100%,” Mohsen Karimi was quoted as saying by the National Petrochemical Company's news agency.
The economic zone currently 15 million cubic meters of gas per day via a 30-inch pipeline.
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. IGAT-5 transfers sour gas from the South Pars Gas Field phases 6, 7 and 8 to Khuzestan.
