Pipeline Leakage Reduces Gas Output From South Pars Phase 16

A gas leakage in the offshore pipeline that links the first deck of Phase 16 (SPD 16A) of South Pars Gas Field in the Persian Gulf to onshore gas refining facilities has caused operations in the rig to stop temporarily, as production has fallen by 15 million cubic meters per day.
Based on information released by the Pars Oil and Gas Company, repairs are underway and the Phase 16 platform will resume operation in 10 days, ILNA reported.
POGC, a subsidiary of the National Iranian Oil Company, dismissed reports of a fire at the facility, saying no fire broke out on the platform and that facilities are safe.
