BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 2. Over 8 billion cubic meters of gas were processed at the 2nd refinery of Iran's South Pars Gas Company (SPGC) and transferred to the national gas grid in the first four months of the current Iranian year (from March 21 through July 22, 2025), Mohsen Attarzadeh, the director of the 2nd refinery of the South Pars Gas Company, told reporters, Trend reports.
He noted that the refinery currently processes 58.5 million cubic meters of gas daily.
Attarzadeh also emphasized that 10 percent of the rich gas processed at this refinery is converted into ethane, propane, and butane gases at Pars Petrochemical Company. This plays an important role in supplying raw materials to the country’s petrochemical sector.
South Pars Gas Company engages in the processing of
hydrocarbon-rich gas sourced from the South Pars gas field, a
critical asset that contributes over 75 percent of the natural gas
utilized within the Iranian energy landscape. The enterprise
manages a portfolio of 13 refining facilities.
The South Pars Gas Field, referred to as the North Dome in the
Qatari context, represents a collaborative hydrocarbon reservoir
straddling the territorial boundaries of Iran and Qatar. The
reservoir encompasses 51 trillion cubic meters of gaseous reserves,
with 36 trillion cubic meters deemed recoverable through advanced
extraction methodologies. The Iranian sector encompasses an
estimated 14 trillion cubic meters of natural gas reserves
alongside 18 billion barrels of gas condensate resources.
Throughout a quarter-century span from 1998 to 2023, the South Pars
Gas Company has achieved a remarkable output of 1.96 trillion cubic
meters of gaseous hydrocarbons, alongside the extraction of 2.8
billion barrels of gas condensate. Additionally, the company has
produced 25 million tons of propane, 16 million tons of butane, and
8 million tons of elemental sulfur.
