Saeed Tavakoli, CEO of the National Iranian Gas Company, announced that the extension of the gas export contract to Turkey is certain, emphasizing that this issue is one of the main priorities in energy negotiations. He expressed hope that the new contract will be finalized by 2026.

The Ministry of Oil announced that by implementing 12 new flare gas collection contracts, in addition to reducing pollution and saving national resources, 180 million cubic feet of light gas per day will be added to the production cycle. This measure is part of the country's energy consumption optimization program and addressing the country's energy imbalance.

Energy expert Hossein Mirafazli believes that the way out of the gas consumption crisis is to reduce dependence on gas and expand the use of electricity in home heating; a model that many developed countries in the world have adopted for years.

The Minister of Oil said: "The amount of gas delivered to the network has increased by about 6.7 million cubic meters per day, and oil and gas reserves in power plants have also increased by 130 percent. In light of these efforts, we are entering the cold season this year with very favorable conditions."

The Director of Coordination of Gas Supply Affairs at the National Iranian Gas Company announced: "The new natural gas pricing system, in addition to supporting low-consumption and low-income groups, creates the necessary incentive to save and optimize consumption in unproductive economic sectors, and this is an important step towards sustainable energy supply and achieving justice in the distribution of subsidies."

The spokesperson for the National Iranian Gas Company announced that the implementation of the resolution to amend the natural gas consumption pattern has begun in early October, saying: "Since the period for reading subscribers' gas meters is 45 days, the gas bill amendments will be fully implemented from mid-November."

He pointed out that the National Iranian Gas Company has taken effective steps today towards efficiency and optimization of energy consumption, adding: "Among the projects implemented in this regard is the pilot of Karvar companies in seven provinces of the country, which, according to predictions, will lead to an increase in energy efficiency of more than 10 percent."

The CEO of the National Gas Company emphasized the need to reform the energy consumption pattern, develop micro-investments, and improve productivity at the International Conference on Investment and Financing of the Oil, Gas, and Petrochemical Industries.

Hossein Mirafazli, an energy expert, emphasized the need to change the home heating pattern, saying: "The high rate of gas consumption in the domestic sector indicates a huge waste of energy in the country, and the share of gas in home heating should be gradually reduced to 20 to 30 percent over five years, and replaced by electricity."

With the successful completion of major repairs on 35 South Pars platforms, Pars Oil and Gas Company announced that it is ready to provide the country with sustainable gas supply during the winter season. The operation was carried out over a six-month period and involved upgrading process and safety equipment.
