With the completion of restoration operations on a well in the Nar Gas Field, the production capacity of the field has increased by 10% or 300,000 cubic meters per day, Hassan Nematollahi, the head of petroleum engineering at the South Zagros Oil and Gas Production Company, said.
Nar is one of the most important gas fields managed by SZOGPC, which is located in the Nar and Kangan operational district in the vicinity of Jam City, Bushehr Province, the Oil Ministry’s news service reported.
Thirty wells are operating in the field to produce about 30 million cubic meters of gas and 4,000 barrels of gas condensate on a daily basis.
The gas produced in the field is sent to Fajr Jam Gas Refinery and its gas condensate is delivered to Fajr Petrochemical Plant.
SZOGPC, a subsidiary of the Iranian Central Oil Fields Company, is in charge of nine gas and two oil fields in Fars, Bushehr and Hormozgan provinces. The company says it wants to expand activities in Kohgilouyeh-Boyerahmad and Chaharmahal-Bakhtiari provinces.
Iran’s natural gas output capacity will increase by at least 50% to reach 1.5 billion cubic meters per day by 2030 with the implementation of several projects.
One of the projects pertains to the completion of Phase 11 of South Pars Gas Field in the Persian Gulf.
South Pars has 24 phases, allof which are now operational, except Phase 11. The field, which Iran shares with Qatar, covers 9,700 square kilometers, 3,700 square kilometers of which (South Pars) are in Iran’s territorial waters. The remaining 6,000 square kilometers, called North Dome, are situated in Qatar’s territorial waters.
The field is estimated to contain a significant amount of natural gas, accounting for about 8% of the world’s reserves and approximately 18 billion barrels of condensate.
Another project is to build gas booster stations to address the decline in production from the South Pars Gas Field.
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 declined from about 5,200 PSI to 3,500 PSI in the past 20 years.
