TEHRAN, Iran, September 5. The overhaul operations of the fourth refinery of the giant South Pars gas field (which Iran shares with Qatar in the Persian Gulf) have finished successfully, relying on domestic capability, knowledge, and Iran-made parts and equipment, the head of the fourth refinery of the South Pars Oil and Gas Company (POGC) Behzad Salari said, Trend reports citing IRNA.
Behzad Salari announced some achievements of the plant production (4th gas plant) at South Pars gas company, including the connection of the nitrogen gas line of Bushehr Petrochemical complex to the fourth refinery of the POGC.
South Pars is the world’s largest gas field shared between Iran and Qatar. Iran is developing the mega project in 24 phases. It reportedly provides more than two-thirds of the country's natural gas.
South Pars holds an estimated 40 trillion cubic meters of natural gas or roughly 8 percent of the world’s reserves, and approximately 18 billion barrels of condensates. It adjoins Qatar’s North Field that spans over 6,000 square kilometers.
The fourth refinery of the south Pars Oil and Gas Company (POGC) is located 270 km south of Bushehr port in Asaluyeh. The feed for any fourth refinery basically consists of sour gas, gas condensate, and glycol solution.
The fourth refinery of South Pars is supposed to produce 104 million cubic meters of dry and sour gas, 138,000 barrels of gas condensate, 3,000 tons of propane, and 2,000 tons of butane.
