Iran’s largest gas company cooperating with over 100 local NTBFs
The managers of the South Pars Gas Complex, which is the largest gas company in Iran, devote very special attention to new technology-based firms (NTBFs) and domestic manufacturers, said managing director of the complex, adding that the SPGC has a very close cooperation with more than 100 domestic startups.
Domestic manufacturers have always proven that they are with the SPGC and now the managers of the complex have prioritized using the power and capacity of domestic NTBFs, companies and manufacturers, Shana quoted Ahmad Bahoush as saying.
“Some of these firms are in the form of a consortium, with which our complex has contracts in various fields, while it also has direct cooperation with industrial parks that include several startups,” he stated.
Currently, more than 95% of the required and strategic parts and equipment of SPGC refineries have been indigenized, Bahoush said, expressing hope that the figure will increase to 100% this year following greater cooperation with domestic producers and companies.
Iran is one of the four largest producers and consumers of natural gas in the world. The country injects more than 850 million cubic meters per day of natural gas to its nationwide grid during cold winter months.
Total gas output in Iran has exceeded 1 billion cubic meters per day, a bulk of which comes from South Pars, the world’s largest gas field which is located on the maritime border between Iran and Qatar in the Persian Gulf.
