According to Pars Oil and Gas Company (POGC), Iran has started delivery of the second offshore topside to be installed at Phase 14 of the supergiant South Pars Gas Field in Persian Gulf waters.

Delivery of the topside of Platform C14 began after its loading and bracing operations were successfully carried out.

The satellite platform is constructed for a daily recovery of 500 million cubic feet of sour gas from phase 14 reservoir.

A 2,200-ton carrier is delivering the structure to its designated offshore spot from the shipbuilding yard of Iran Marine Industrial Company (SADRA).

Mr. Masoudi also announced that construction of Platform B 14 of the project has also been 88% complete and its loading and installation will be in October.

Once the two platforms are operational, gas recovery from South Pars Phase 14 will reach 1.5 billion cubic feet per day, he said.
