According to Pars Oil and Gas Company (POGC), Reza Moayedi underlined setting new records in the project in construction, installation and commissioning of various parts.

Phase 13 of the joint offshore gas field is one of the largest national projects in Iran which is being carried out on both offshore and onshore phases.

He said development of the project had gained considerable momentum in the past 20 months, adding setting such records was an indication of the sophistication of Iranian developers in the field.

The official noted that offshore industry had been inspired by the past lessons and had entered the design, engineering, construction, implementation and commissioning of offshore platforms without the presence of foreign experts which augurs well for domestic industrial sector.

He said construction and installation of the A and C topsides of the phase were next year’s top priorities in the project, adding completion of the two topsides would bring phase 13 to full productivity which is supplying 56 mcm/d of sour gas.
