Iran’s South Pars Refinery 7 set to increase production: BNE IntelliNews
- Iran’s South Pars Refinery 7 is on track to maximise production, according to the facility’s manager – Mehrdad Abdi – who said that output is expected to increase significantly by the end of March this year.
- In a speech praising the refinery’s 26-year operational history, Abdi highlighted the role Iran’s oil and gas industry had played in growing the country’s economy, security and “dignity”.
- The official noted that efforts by Iranian refining experts had been an important factor in allowing the industry to grow, showcasing South Pars 7 as an example of this.
- According to Abdi, the plant is currently extracting the maximum amount of gas possible from offshore platforms – receiving more than 14bn cubic metres of gas in the first 10 months of the Iranian year (beginning March 20, 2024) and sweetening and injecting around 12.5bn cubic metres of the commodity into the country’s national grid.
- Additional products produced by the refinery since March 20 included more than 400,000 tonnes of propane, 280,000 tonnes of butane and 32,500 tonnes of granulated sulfur.
