Alireza Sarmadi said South Pars includes a total of 39 platforms, of which 37 are production platforms and two serve as support units. He noted that 35 of the 37 production platforms were scheduled for major overhauls in 2025 to ensure stable gas output during the winter months.

Sarmadi said maintenance work on 29 platforms has been completed so far, while the overhaul of the remaining six platforms is ongoing and will conclude soon.

He added that major repairs are currently underway on the platforms of phases 3 and 4, as well as four platforms from phases 22 through 24. In total, 82 percent of the platforms planned for overhaul in 2025 have completed their maintenance operations.

According to Shana, South Pars supplies more than 70 percent of Iran’s natural gas needs, and maintaining stable production from this shared field is crucial during the cold season.
