By completion of the designed projects in the North Pars region, recoverable capacity of natural gas from Ferdowsi and Golshan gas fields will rise to 60 trillion cubic feet, announced Pars Oil and Gas Company’ managing director, Ali Vakili on Monday.
In an exclusive interview with Shana correspondent in Assaloyeh, managing director of the Pars Oil and Gas Company (POGC) said, the recoverable gas from the Ferdowsi gas field, that its development contract has been awarded to Malaysian SKS Company, is estimated at 9 to 13 trillion cubic feet.
He added that by completion of the development scheme of the field, 500 million cubic feet of natural gas would be produced per day to be injected to the gas pipeline network after processing.
Vakili also said that average recovery gas form Golshan gas field is estimated to be at 49 trillion cubic feet.
Noting that the development contract of the field also has been handed over to SKS Company from Malaisia in 2007, Mr. Vakili said that by the Malaysian company’s investment, an LNG unit would be build in the region.

Concerning the implementation of the 13 and 14 South Pars gas field, Mr. Vakili said the contract to develop South Pars gas field awarded to a consortia comprising of Mapna, Sadra and Petropaidar Iranian and the phase 14 to a consortium consisting of the Industrial Development and Renovation Organization (IDRO), National Iranian Drilling Company (NIDC) and Iran Offshore Engineering Construction Company (IOEC).
By developing phases 13 and 14, daily output of sour gas from South Pars gas field will increase by 3 billion cubic feet.
In addition, the project plans to transfer produced gas to a gas processing plant in the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone, processing and separating of 110 thousands barrels of gas condensate.
The produced gas is going to be sweetened and converted to LNG.
The Golshan and Ferdowsi gas fields are among the NIOC Recent Discoveries, which are located at approximately 180 and 190 km southeast of Bushehr respectively on the Persian Gulf waters.
