Speaking to Shana, Siavash Baher, said the project aims at collecting 143 million cubic feet of associated gases per day in Siri Island adding the project starts up by gathering 70 million cubic meters of associated gases per day in the first phase.

The volume of gathering associated gas will go up gradually reaching 100 million cubic meters per day; Baher said adding raising the capacity requires installation of a number of compressors in Nasr oil field as well as onshore installations in Siri Island that is under way.
