Alireza Sarmadi announced completion of overhaul operation of 29 offshore gas platforms in the South Pars field, adding that maintenance work on the remaining six platforms will be finished in the coming days, ahead of the country’s peak gas consumption season.

Sarmadi said South Pars includes a total of 39 platforms, of which 37 ones are production platforms and two others serve as support units. He noted that 35 of the 37 production platforms were scheduled for major overhauls in 2025 to ensure stable gas output during the winter months.
