Development Projects Underway in Northeast & South to Increase Gas Production

Development of Tous Gas Field and Shourijeh storage facility, both in Khorasan Razavi Province, will guarantee sustainable gas supply to households and industries in the eastern and northern provinces, the managing director of Central Iranian Oil Fields Company said.
“Producing 3 million cubic meters per day of gas from Tous field in the first phase will be realized by digging three new wells and repairing an existing well,” Ramin Hatami was also quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry news agency Shana.
“Furthermore, work on the second phase of Shourijeh facility is underway and upon completion, gas storage capacity will be increased by 20 million cubic meters per day,” he added.
Tous Gas Field is located 100 kilometers northeast of Mashhad. Discovered 13 years ago, gas production from the field has yet to commence.
