While the CEO of the National Oil Company speaks of a shortage of LPG for export, the company's official statistics show that more than a billion dollars of this valuable gas has been burned in flares due to mismanagement.

Part of the liquefied gas produced by South Pars is being burned due to the halt of infrastructure projects and administrative obstacles, which means a waste of billions of national wealth that could have generated foreign exchange for the country.

The FGE consulting company's investigation showed that Iran's export of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) reached more than 11 million tons last year.

Chairman of the Board of Directors of Sarkhs Special Economic Zone in Northeast Khorasan Razavi said: 100,000 tons of Russian "LPG" gas was transited to Pakistan from Iran's road route through Sarkhs Special Economic Zone.
