For the development of the South Pars field which is currently divided into 27 phases, 37 offshore platforms were constructed, installed and went operational, these platforms are connected to onshore refineries through 3,200 km of 32-inch seabed pipelines.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, B. Zanganeh noted:
- The most important thing that needs to be done in South Pars from now on, is to prevent the pressure drop and to maintain the current production levels
- in this regard, we need $25 to 30 billion of investment, part of which has already been attracted
- for example, a contract has been signed with Oil Turbo Compressor Construction Company to build suitable compressors to increase pressure at sea and on land
- The 1st contract for the development of the South Pars gas field was signed in September 1997 and by mid-2005, 10 phases of South Pars had been put into operation
- With the increase of gas production from South Pars and other gas fields, we reached the daily production record of 1 billion m3
- This year 40 million m3 of new capacity will be added to the field’s total output.
The development of the South Pars field started in 1998 and 29 different phases were defined for the project along with a separate oil block.
The field, however, is currently divided into 27 standard offshore phases, the output of which is processed by 14 gas refineries on land.
