An official said: "With an investment of $8 billion in 202 gas fields, the country's gas capacity will increase to 220 million cubic meters and the problems of gas shortages in the winter season will be resolved."
Following the escalation of military conflicts between the Zionist regime and Iran and the cessation of gas production from the regime's main fields, Egypt has faced a sharp decline in gas imports and has begun rationing gas in fertilizer and petrochemical plants to deal with this crisis.
Reuters reported in an exclusive report that gas production in Phase 14 of the South Pars Joint Field - the world's largest gas field - has been partially halted following an Israeli airstrike on Iranian energy facilities.
Daily gas extraction from Phase 11 of South Pars has increased by 60 percent in the first 10 months of the 14th government, from 12 million cubic meters to 20 million cubic meters.
A review of gas consumption statistics from June 10 to 16 shows that the average daily gas consumption of power plants exceeded 281 million cubic meters and reached its highest level on June 12 with a consumption record of more than 287 million cubic meters.
The CEO of Petropars Group announced the commissioning of the first in-field gas well (Infill) on the SPD1 platform, Phase 1 of South Pars, and said: "This well will add about 80 million cubic feet to production capacity daily."
The CEO of the South Pars Gas Complex announced: "The Besat Power Plant of the South Pars Gas Complex, with its sustainable electricity production, in addition to providing energy to thirteen refineries, injects the surplus electricity produced into the power grid of four neighboring counties, which plays an important role in strengthening the region's national power grid."
Although Iran's daily gas production capacity has doubled in recent decades, structural, financial, and technological barriers threaten the sustainable growth of this key source of electricity for the industry.
In recent years, accelerating gas field development plans has become an unrivaled priority in energy policymaking in Iran; a policy that is being pursued with the aim of compensating for the supply shortage.
The level of oil and gas storage in power plants in the first two months of 2025 has reached about 1.5 billion liters, an increase of more than 85 percent compared to the same period last year; an impressive figure that indicates the Ministry of Petroleum's readiness to provide sustainable energy in the country.
