    Gas compression at South Pars

    South Pars giant offshore gas field is largely expected to experience pressure fall-off within five years. Should no action be taken the field, which Iran shares with Qatar, would see its output drop 25 mcm/y. As a preventive measure, Iran’s Petroleum Ministry has adopted various methods like regular planning to drill new wells, acidizing existing wells and designing gas compression platforms with a view to maintaining pressure in the South Pars reservoir. In parallel, National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) is planning studies on onshore and offshore platforms as a preventive measure.
