According to Pars Oil and Gas Company, Ali Tale' stated that the annual overhaul of the South Pars gas platforms began in early April. Platforms 17A and 17B were simultaneously taken offline for maintenance in late May.  

He added that the overhaul of Platform 17A—involving 350 work orders and 3,760 man-hours—and Platform 17B—with 372 work orders and 3,512 man-hours—was completed after a week of continuous work by repair teams.  

Tale' noted that the overhaul of Platforms 18A and 18B began immediately after Phase 17 was completed, starting June 8. This included 298 work orders and 2,400 man-hours for Platform 18A and 299 work orders and 2,500 man-hours for Platform 18B. Gas production from these platforms resumed on June 14.  

He highlighted the calibration of pressure safety valves (PSVs) as one of the most critical tasks, explaining that due to harsh marine conditions, the valves were transported to onshore workshops for round-the-clock calibration and repairs before being returned to the platforms as quickly as possible.  

Tale' also mentioned the inspection of flare tips at approximately 80 meters above sea level, emphasizing that the operation was conducted with full safety compliance. Mechanical and electronic equipment was examined and repaired or replaced as needed.  

Stressing the coordinated efforts between the National Iranian Oil Company's Production Supervision Department, the South Pars Gas Complex (onshore refineries), and Pars Oil and Gas Company (offshore platforms), Tale' confirmed that the overhauls of Phases 17 and 18 were completed as planned, with the platforms now safely back in production.
