By Elnur Baghishov - Trend:
Two platforms, 13A and 13C, to be installed as part of Phase 13 of the Iran-Qatar joint South Pars gas field (North Dome in Qatar), have been loaded onto a ship on the territory of the Iran Marine Industrial Company (SADRA), said Payam Motamed, the operator of Phase 13, Trend reports referring to Iran's Pars Oil and Gas Company.
Motamed noted that the platforms produced by the SADRA will be installed as part of Phase 13 in the near future if the weather conditions are appropriate.
The operator added that the weight of each platform is about 2,500 tons.
“With the installation of the platforms, Iran’s production from the South Pars gas field will increase by 28.4 million cubic meters per day,” Motamed said.
The proven reserves of the South Pars Gas Field have reached 51 trillion cubic meters of gas (36 trillion extractable).
Presently, 630 million cubic meters of gas may be extracted from Iran's South Pars gas field daily.
After new platforms are commissioned at five phases (13, 14, 22, 23 and 24), gas production volume will increase up to 680 million cubic meters a day.
