The 11th gas refinery of Iran’s South Pars Gas Company (SPGC) currently produces more than 35 million cubic meters of gas per day, Director of 11th Refinery Mohammad Saeedian said, Trend reports citing the company’s official website.
Saeedian noted that gas production is planned to reach daily 50 million cubic meters in the current Iranian year (from March 20, 2020, to March 21, 2021).
The director added that in this regard, 38 wells will be drilled in the 13th phase of the South Pars gas field, which supplies fuel to this refinery. Thus, daily 2 billion cubic feet of gas (about 56.6 million cubic meters) will be supplied to the 11th refinery.
“At the same time, the 11th refinery produces more than 40,000 barrels of gas condensate per day,” he said.
