Iran to Increase Daily Gas Transmission Capacity to 1 Billion Cubic Meters
With the aim of increasing gas transmission capacity to one billion cubic meters per day and strengthening the stability of the network in the country's central corridor, the implementation of the 56-inch pipeline from Pol-e-Kale to Tiran, approximately 50 kilometers long, has started in Iran which is a project that was implemented simultaneously with the class change of the 20-inch Tasouj to Urumiya line.
The project to construct the 56-inch pipeline of the tenth national gas line from Pol-e-Kale to Tiran (section one), approximately 50 kilometers long, began simultaneously with the class change of the 20-inch Tasouj to Urumiya line.
This project aims to increase the country's gas transmission capacity to one billion cubic meters per day and strengthen the stability of the network in the country's central corridor, and is being constructed by the Iranian Gas Engineering and Development Company with the advice of the Iranian Consulting Engineers for Industry and Management Company.
The construction of the 56-inch pipeline, approximately 50 kilometers long, the construction of a launcher station, two LBV stations, and the class change operation are part of the 20-inch Tasouj to Urumiya line.
In a relevant development in May, the CEO of Pars Oil and Gas Company (POGC) announced that his company would start new projects in four gas fields in Southern Iran.
Touraj Dehqani said that his company has four plans to develop gas fields, including Kish, North Pars, Balal, and Farzad over the next five years, aiming for a 200 to 250 million cubic meter increase in extraction.
Speaking on the sidelines of the third day of the 29th International Oil, Gas, Refining & Petrochemical Exhibition (Iran Oil Show 2025), Dehqani noted that the gas extraction ceiling from the shared South Pars field will reach 722 million cubic meters (mcm) per day in early mounths of 2026.
Dehqani noted that last year, the daily gas extraction record from South Pars reached 716 mcm, up by 10 million cubic meters comparing to its previous year record of 706 million.
