Iran Installs 3rd Platform of South Pars Phases 22 to 24
The third gas platform of phases 22 to 24 in South Pars Gas Field (SPGF) development plan was installed in offshore sector after loading and transferring it to the sea.
The 2,500-ton platform for the 23rd phase of South Pars field, as the second main platform of phases 22 to 24, was installed by HL-5000 vessel in the Persian Gulf on Tuesday.
“The platform for the phase 23 is the third gas platform in phases 22 to 24 of the field. Similar to the first phase’s two platforms, the 3rd platform was constructed by Iran Marine Industrial Company (SADRA) with the daily production capacity of 14.2 mcm,” Acting Deputy director of the development project of phases 22 to 24 of South Pars Gas Field, Ali Asghar Sadeghi, said.
He underlined that in addition to the strengthening of the technical capability of domestic producers and contractors, efforts made in this plan led to considerable increase in production capacity of gas from South Pars Gas Field.
In relevant remarks in early October, Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Zangeneh said that the offshore sections of 27 South Pars phases would be fully developed in the first half of 2020.
Addressing the opening ceremony of the 5th Oil and Power Congress in Tehran, Zangeneh said that South Pars Phase 11 development plan would be launched by March 20, 2020.
He further said that phase 14 of the field would come on stream by 2021, adding, “We have made great progress in South Pars gas field.”
“We had initially intended to exploit the technology of building pressure booster platforms in Phase 11 with Total in the project which unfortunately failed as Total and CNPCI pulled out of the project because of the imposition of sanctions. They did so in a friendly manner and we did not have disputes with them in this regard. The sanctions created an atmosphere in which they could not and did not want to stay in the contract. They thought they could not continue the work and left the project anyway.”
By the end of this calendar year, 70 mcm/d of sweet gas will be added to South Pars daily output, he added.
