Iran Will Need 3,000 Km of Pipeline for South Pars Gas Field

Iran will need to build 3,000 kilometers of gas pipeline for South Pars gas field, deputy of National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) said earlier this week.

Abdol-Hossein Samari said the pipeline is required once five new phases of South Pars gas field become operational with a capacity of 204 mcm, reports Shana News Agency.

Moreover, 15 to 20 new gas pressure booster stations will be established, Samari added.

According to Samari, pipeline and gas pressure stations will require an investment of six billion dollars.

Samari said the country will see a massive flow of gas in the future once phases 12, 15, 16, 17 and 18 come on-stream.

Iran is working at a great speed to develop its giant South Pars natural gas field, amid hopes of relief from sanctions. The gas field, located in the Persian Gulf is shared by Iran and Qatar.
