Iran Natural Gas Output Up 9%

The country's refineries produced close to 214 billion cubic meters of natural gas in the fiscal 2017-18, the National Iranian Gas Company's production manager said.
"The output indicates a hike of 9.3% compared with the corresponding period of 2016," Gholamreza Bahman-Nia also told Shana.
According to the official, the production of byproducts, namely gas condensates, ethane and sulfur, have also risen by 11%, 23% and 7.3% respectively in the period.
"As new South Pars phases, namely 13, 14 and 22-24, go on stream gradually, more fuel will be injected into Iran Gas Trunkline to be used either domestically or exported to foreign markets," he said, noting that the ongoing venture will also raise the country's export share of gas derivatives in international markets.
