Despite having the world’s second-largest gas reserves, Iran continues to grapple with an energy imbalance. The country’s numerous gas fields are either underdeveloped or lagging behind in the competition for extraction from shared fields. While gas exports could become a regional lever of power, Iran has a tiny share of the global market. If this trajectory is not corrected, even meeting domestic demand will be challenged in the coming winters.
The CEO of the National Iranian Gas Company said: "During the recent attacks, by carrying out more than 6,000 operations, the complete stability of the country's gas network was maintained and there was no disruption in the supply of gas to consumers."
