Iran has commissioned four more phases of offshore South Pars natural gas field.
Phases 13 and 22-24 have production capacities of 56 million cu m/day, 75,000 b/d of condensate, and 400 tonnes/day of sulfur each.
At an inauguration event in Assaluyeh, Minister of Petroleum Bijan Zangeneh said start-up of the phases, in which Iran has invested $11 billion, boosted South Pars production to more than that of supergiant North field, as the Qatari part of the reservoir is known.
The start-ups bring to 22 the number of operational South Pars phases.
