NIOC Outlines Plans to Boost Natural Gas Output Capacity

Iran’s natural gas output capacity will increase by at least 50% to reach 1.5 billion cubic meters per day by 2030, the managing director of the National Iranian Oil Company said.
“In addition to the completion of Phase 11, we have a number of compensatory schemes, the most important of which is to build gas booster stations to address the decline in production from the South Pars Gas Field in the Persian Gulf,” Mohsen Khojastehmehr was also quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry’s news agency Shana.
The initial pressure of the South Pars gas reservoir in the Kangan and Dalan layers, which are located at a depth of 3,000 meters in the Persian Gulf, has decreased from about 5,200 PSI to 3,500 PSI in the past 20 According to the NIOC chief, the project to design offshore compressor stations has been completed and a pilot plan to produce the first prototype will start soon.
