CEO: Iran’s South Pars Field Produces over 2 Million Tons of Butane in 10 Months
In the first 10 months of this year, the complex produced over 2 million tons of butane, 3 million tons of propane, 1.5 million tons of ethane, 500,000 tons of granulated sulfur, and more than 201 million barrels of gas condensates, Hosseini said.
He added that 165 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas were injected into the national grid during the first 10 months of this year (March 20, 2024-January 19, 2025), marking a 2% increase compared to the same period last year.
Gholam Abbas Hosseini stated that employees across the South Pars refineries have mobilized all available resources to ensure maximum and stable gas production during the winter season.
He noted that the complex produces nearly 600 million cubic meters of gas daily.
Hosseini highlighted that the SPGC accounted for 73% of the country’s total gas production, with its 13 refineries playing a pivotal role.
He emphasized the significant impact of the complex’s output on ensuring public comfort, energy security, and economic prosperity.
Hosseini also underscored the complex’s critical role in supplying feedstock to the Persian Gulf Star Refinery, delivering over 127.2 million barrels of gas condensates during the same period. Additionally, nearly 3.5 million barrels of gas condensates were sent to the Nouri Petrochemical Plant.
South Pars is currently divided into 24 standard phases on the Iranian side and is estimated to contain a significant amount of natural gas, accounting for about eight percent of the world’s reserves, and approximately 18 billion barrels of condensate.
