Iran to pump sour gas from Salman field in Persian Gulf
Iran will start pumping sour gas from the Salman field, located in the Persian Gulf, once a 290-kilometre gas pipeline from Siri to Asalouyeh comes on stream in the near future, Mehr news agency reported.
The Salman field located in the Persian Gulf on Iran's border with Abu Dhabi, has been developed by the PetroIran company.
Upon completion of the Siri-Asalouyeh gas pipeline, it will convey 500 million cubic feet of sour gas per day from the Salman gas field to the South Pars gas field onshore facilities in Asalouyeh for sweetening.
Iran plans to sell sweetened gas to its new customers in Pakistan, Iraq and Turkey.
Iran has attached a priority to boosting gas production capacity at its joint oilfields with Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi has ordered all contractors at the South Pars gas field development projects to work round the clock in three shifts to complete the development of all phases.
The South Pars gas field is shared by Iran and Qatar. The Iranian share, which is divided into 29 phases, has about 14 trillion cubic meters of gas, or about eight per cent of total world reserves.
