BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 13. The construction of the pipeline to transport gas from platform B of the 11th phase, which is the last inactive phase of the Iran-Qatar joint South Pars gas field (called North Dome in Qatar), was completed on August 12, 2022, Trend reports citing Iran’s Pars Oil and Gas Company’s website.
According to the report, sour gas will be transported through a 32-inch pipeline with a total length of about 15 km. This pipeline is connected to the onshore pipeline from platform C of the 12th phase.
The purpose of laying the pipeline is to transport 28 million cubic meters of gas produced daily from the 11B platform to refineries.
In addition to laying the pipeline, certain operations will be carried out on platform 11B. Thus, the 12C platform will be brought to the place where the 11B platform will be located, and 4 wells will be drilled, as well as equipment will be installed.
In 2017, the project to develop the 11th phase of the South Pars gas field was entrusted to France's Total, China's CNPCI and Iran's Petropars. However, the foreign companies have refused to carry out operations at the 11th phase of the South Pars gas field as a result of US sanctions against Iran. As a result, the operations at this phase were fully entrusted to the Petropars Operation and Management Company (POMC).
The South Pars gas field (called North Dome in Qatar) is a joint gas field of Iran and Qatar. The proven reserves of the South Pars Gas Field are estimated at 51 trillion cubic meters of gas, of which 36 trillion are extractable. Iran's share in the field is 14 trillion cubic meters of gas and 18 billion barrels of gas condensate.
