POGC announces rise in Phase 11 gas output at South Pars
The CEO of Pars Oil and Gas Company (POGC) announced an increase in daily natural gas production from Phase 11 of the South Pars field, stating that, “The seventh well of the development plan of this phase has been launched.”
Touraj Dehqani, in an interview with Shana on Sunday, a reporter, added that after the completion of the acidization operation in the coming weeks, the extraction of gas from this well will reach full capacity.
Phase 11 of the South Pars Gas Field is the latest development project in the giant field, which is located near the border with Qatar. The National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) signed a development contract for this phase in 2017 with France’s TotalEnergies, China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), and PetroPars.
With the withdrawal of foreign companies from the contract after the US sanctions on Tehran, Iranian companies took over the responsibility for the development of Phase 11, and the first extraction from this phase was carried out last year.
With the full operation of Phase 11 of the South Pars Gas Field, gas extraction will reach 28 million cubic meters per day.
Gas produced in Phase 11 is transported from its offshore location in the Persian Gulf to the onshore processing facilities of Phase 12. Upon refinement, it is injected into the national gas network.
