First phase of Kish gas field will come online next Iranian calendar year, which begins 20 March.

Ahamd Qalebani, managing director of National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) said that injecting gas to 7th gas trunk line and boosting exports are among the objectives of developing the field, Shana news reported.

“Even though the field is an independent one but we are planning to make it operational on time in order to boost the country’s gas production capacity,” he said.

The field is estimated to hold 66 tcf as well as 514 million barrels of gas condensate. Preliminary studies show gas output from the field will be 3 to 5 bcf per day.
