BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 18
By Elnur Baghishov - Trend:
About 340 million cubic meters of gas have been pumped into the Serajeh gas storage facility in Qom province from March 31 to date (May 18), said head of Serajeh gas storage facility department Mohammad Hassan Soleimani, Trend reports citing National Iranian Gas Company’s (NIGC) website.
According to Soleimani, 900 million cubic meters of gas is expected to be pumped into the storage facility within the 8 months of this Iranian year (began March 20, 2020).
Soleimani added that some 892 million cubic meters of gas from this storage facility will be consumed during four cold winter months.
The official said that a 20-kilovolt substation has been put into operation to supply the required 500 kilowatts of electricity to the gas storage and the processing plant.
“In preceding years, electricity of the Serajeh gas processing plant and storage facility was provided through the Qanavat city in the Qom province. There were constant power outages, and other problems,” he said.
The Iran's Central Oil fields Company has 12 gas fields and 13 oil fields. Some of the extracted gas is pumped to two storage facilities after processing. The Shourijeh D and Serajeh gas storage facilities supply gas to Iran's Razavi Khorasan, North Khorasan, South Khorasan, Mazandaran, Golestan and Semnan provinces.
