BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 8. Iran’s South Pars Gas Complex’s (SPGC) 7th Refinery produced 7.5 billion cubic meters of gas in the first half of the current Iranian year (from March 21 through September 22, 2025), which was supplied to the national gas network, said the head of the plant, Mehrdad Abdi, Trend reports.
Speaking to local media, Abdi stated that this volume of gas plays an important role in ensuring the country’s stable energy supply. He added that within the same period, 290,000 tons of ethane were delivered to petrochemical facilities for the production of higher-value products.
Abdi noted that the refinery also produced 250,000 tons of propane and 170,000 tons of butane. Additionally, over 8.5 million barrels of gas condensate were processed during the six months, demonstrating the plant’s significant capacity and efficiency in extracting maximum value from rich gas reserves.
“More than nine billion cubic meters of sour gas were delivered to the 7th Refinery during this period. Thanks to technical expertise, advanced technologies, and the efforts of our employees, high-quality gas products meeting international standards were produced,” he emphasized.
To note, the 7th Refinery handles gas from the 17th and 18th phases of the South Pars gas field. The plant produces daily 50 million cubic meters of natural gas, 80,000 barrels of gas condensate, 3,200 tons of liquefied gas, 2,600 tons of ethane, and 400 tons of sulfur.
Meanwhile, the rich gas produced at the South Pars gas field is processed by the South Pars company. More than 75 percent of the gas consumed in the country is provided by this company. The company has 13 processing plants.
The South Pars gas field (North Dome in Qatar) is a joint Iran-Qatar gas field. It is reported that this field has 51 trillion cubic meters of gas reserves, of which 36 trillion cubic meters can be produced. Iran's share in this field is 14 trillion cubic meters of gas and 18 billion barrels of gas condensate.
