Gas Flaring Near Zero at 8th South Pars Refinery

The amount of associated petroleum gas burning out from the 8th South Pars Refinery has reached zero, managing director of the refinery said Tuesday.
"Optimization of sulfur recovery and ethane cracker units in the refinery has helped cut significantly flaring of associated gases from phases 20 and 21," Hadi Chabok was quoted as saying by ILNA.
The refinery receives natural gas from phases 20 and 21 of the giant South Pars field that is shared by Iran and Qatar in the Persian Gulf.
