BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 14. The development of new gas fields under the Iranian South Zagros Oil and Gas Production Company (SZOGPC) will boost Iran's gas production potential by 100-140 million cubic meters of gas per day, Mahmoud Mirbagheri, Director of Operations at SZOGPC, told local media, Trend reports.
According to him, operations related to the discovery of hydrocarbon reserves are currently underway in the company's territory, and if a few ducks are lined up in a row to speed things along, more effective results can be achieved.

presently in operational extraction by the company are classified
as mountainous terrains, characterized by significant topographical
challenges.
