Natural Gas Production Hit 232 bcm in Last Fiscal Year

The state-run National Iranian Gas Company produced an estimated 232 billion cubic meters of natural gas in the last fiscal year (ended March 20, 2022), the head of NIGC said.
“Of the output, 215 bcm were consumed domestically and the rest was either exported to Iraq and Turkey, or stored in Sarajeh and Shourijeh storage facilities in Qom and Khorasan provinces, or injected into oil wells,” Majid Chegeni was also quoted as saying by ILNA.
Domestic consumption in 2021 increased by 5 bcm compared to a year ago, he added.
Giving a breakdown, Chegeni noted that of the total use, households and the commercial sector accounted for the major share of consumption at 115 bcm during the one-year period, indicating no change compared to 2020.
