Gas refineries fully prepared for stable production: NIGC
The director of coordination and production supervision at the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) announced that the country’s gas refineries are fully prepared as temperatures drop nationwide and an intense cold front is expected to hit next week.
On Tuesday, Mohammadreza Julaei, speaking in a videoconference with managers of the country’s gas refineries held at the South Pars Gas Complex, said, “With the arrival of the cold wave, gas refineries across the country are on full alert to ensure stable gas production,” Shana reported.
He stressed the importance of maintaining optimal conditions during the remaining months of the [Iranian] year, saying, “Managers, specialists, and staff at refineries nationwide must work with precision and high capacity to ensure well-being for citizens and support the country’s economic growth.”
Julaei noted that on Monday, gas production commitments across the refineries were set at 845 million cubic meters, but more than 865 million cubic meters were injected into the national gas grid during the same period.
“Yesterday, over 600 million cubic meters of gas were consumed in the residential and commercial sectors, as this figure is expected to rise further starting today,” he added.
Processing in full swing
Gholamabbas Hosseini, the CEO of the South Pars Gas Complex, also addressed the meeting, stating that the complex’s 13 refineries are currently processing gas at maximum capacity under safe and stable conditions.
“All operational units in South Pars, both offshore and onshore, are working tirelessly and with great dedication at one of the world’s largest gas extraction and processing centers to ensure the welfare, dignity, and prosperity of the Iranian people,” Hosseini said.
He highlighted the reliance on domestic expertise and capabilities, adding, “Nearly 580 million cubic meters of gas are processed daily across the refineries of this complex. The 13 refineries are in excellent condition to meet the country’s gas needs.”
