MP: Platform incident has not affected fuel supply or winter gas provision; all personnel safe

SHANA (Tehran) – The chair of the Parliament Energy Committee reviewed the dimensions of the incident at one of the South Pars gas platforms. He stressed that all personnel are fully safe and that the incident has had no effect on fuel delivery or on the country's winter gas supply.

According to ICANA, Musa Ahmadi spoke in detail about the committee's visit to the South Pars region, pointing to its concerns over winter fuel supply. "This visit followed the incident that occurred at one of the gas platforms on Tuesday night," he said. "Given the committee's serious concern about the stability of winter gas, we monitored the process of service delivery and fuel supply to the country closely, in the first hours of the morning."

Noting that the exact cause of the incident is not yet known, he added: "Specialized and expert teams went into action immediately and have begun technical investigations so that the scope and root causes of this event are determined precisely."

Compensation for Lost Capacity

The chair of the Parliament Energy Committee said the incident had caused no disruption or impact on fuel delivery to the country. "The gas capacity that was temporarily lost when this platform went out of the production cycle was not only fully compensated and restored through the sound planning and tireless efforts of oil industry personnel at other phases and platforms," he said. "Nearly 3 million cubic meters of additional gas from another phase was also brought into the production cycle."

Expressing satisfaction that there were no human casualties, Ahmadi recalled: "Despite adverse weather conditions, Pars Oil and Gas Company used all its capacities and prior contingency planning, including rescue boats, to ensure that the personnel on the platform were transferred ashore in complete safety."

Praising the "jihadi" management and judgment of oil industry staff in handling the crisis, he stressed: "The technical and specialized aspects of this incident were managed well, but the inherent duty of the Parliament Energy Committee is to follow the matter closely to prevent a recurrence of such incidents, and to minimize recovery time should similar events occur."
