BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 13. Iran's internal gas transportation potential (for domestic consumption, consumption of thermal power plants, etc.) is 950 million cubic meters, Executive Director of Iran Gas Transportation Company Gholam-Abbas Hosseini said, Trend reports.
According to him, gas received from Iran's 22 gas processing plants, oil fields, and two underground storage facilities is transported throughout the country through the country's gas transportation network, the total length of which is 39,000 kilometers.
Hosseini noted that a total of 275 bcm of associated gas was transported in Iran in the last Iranian year (from March 21, 2023, through March 19, 2024). This was 1.5 percent more than a year earlier (from March 21, 2022, through March 20, 2023). Although gas transportation across the country increased last year, Iran's gas consumption for residential operations decreased by 3 bcm. This was achieved due to steps taken to optimize gas consumption in the country.
