BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 6. Iran has launched development operations at the North Pars gas field located in the southern Bushehr Province, Amin Khorramabadi, the executive manager of the North Pars gas field development project at Pars Oil and Gas Company (POGC), told reporters, Trend reports.
Khorramabadi said that the the initial phase of the field’s growth is all about putting together a jacket that tips the scales at 750 tons, but once all the bells and whistles are added, it will balloon to around 2,000 tons.. The structure will later be positioned at a depth of approximately 13 meters.
The official noted that the North Pars field was discovered in 1967. Although development plans were initially prioritized in the 1970s, the project was later halted. The development of the North Pars field has now been revived within the framework of the National Iranian Oil Company’s (NIOC) strategy.
The North Pars gas field is situated about 120 kilometers southeast of Bushehr port, between 10 to 15 kilometers offshore, at a depth of roughly 4,000 meters. Covering an estimated area of 500 square kilometers, the field holds gas reserves of about 1.67 trillion cubic meters, with 1.34 trillion cubic meters deemed recoverable.
Recent assessments suggest that once fully developed, the North Pars field could produce roughly 4 billion cubic feet (around 113 million cubic meters) of enriched gas daily.
