Speaking at a conference of the NIOPDC managers on Wednesday, Saeed Aghli also stated that 21 million cubic meters of natural gas are delivered daily to oil refineries, increasing to 24 million cubic meters during the cold season. 

He stated that since the beginning of the year 1403  on 21 March 2024, more than 99% of gas delivery plans have been fulfilled.

Elsewhere in his remarks, he noted that in the summer of 1402, NIGC was able to increase the amount of gas delivered to power plants by 3.8 billion cubic meters and prepare the strategic reserves of the power plants for the cold season in collaboration with refining companies.

Aghli reminded the gathering that an average of 700 million cubic meters of natural gas and 260 million liters of oil products are distributed on a daily basis.

He explained that more than 70% of the country’s fuel is supplied from the South Pars joint gas field, adding that over 400,000 barrels of gas condensates are sent daily from the South Pars gas field to the Persian Gulf Star refinery for gasoline production.

The Dispatching Manager of the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) emphasized at the end that if all institutions and organizations do not cooperate in energy consumption management, over the next year, we will move beyond gas imbalance and enter a phase of gas shortage.
