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."

The South Pars gas field, which supplies 70 percent of the country's gas, has entered a natural pressure drop phase. Implementing a pressure-boosting plan with the aim of maintaining production, preventing gas migration to Qatar, and increasing the recovery rate is a vital step in managing the country's gas balance.

Saeed Pakseresht, Director of Integrated Planning at the National Iranian Gas Company, announced at the first meeting of the investment forum in the gas industry that comprehensive participation and diverse financial models have been envisaged for the implementation of priority projects. He emphasized that the investment path is transparent and that preliminary studies have been conducted.

The CEO of the South Pars Gas Complex, coinciding with the 27th anniversary of the company's establishment, announced: "In the past 27 years, more than 2,363 billion cubic meters of natural gas have been sweetened in this complex and delivered to pipelines across the country."

The CEO of the National Iranian Gas Company, appreciating the efforts and sacrifices of the employees of the ten gas transmission operation regions, emphasized the complete readiness of the transmission network to enter the cold season and maintain the stability of gas flow throughout the country by managing priorities and changing approaches.

The CEO of South Zagros Oil and Gas Company, referring to more than three decades of production from the Nar gas field, said that with the implementation of the pressure boost project since year 2, more than 5 % of the gas has been produced and its conversion program is underway.

The manager of the eighth refinery of the South Pars Gas Complex said: "The eighth refinery of the South Pars Gas Complex, relying on modern technologies and using 100 percent domestic products, has been able to produce more than 6 billion cubic meters of sweetened gas in the first half of this year and transfer it to the national pipeline."
