Project Profile
Value: US$1.8 billion
Location: Bushehr Province
Production: 57 mcm
Start-up Year: 2012
South Pars is the north-eastern half of the super giant field which is known as the North Field in Qatar. The field is located in the Persian Gulf between Iran and Qatar. It is considered the world\'s single largest gas accumulation. South Pars is being developed in 24 phases. Phases 9 and 10 were developed as a single project under a service contract with Pars Oil and Gas Company (POGC).
These phases will produce 2 billion cubic feet (57 million cubic metres) per day of natural gas, 75 million cubic feet (2.1 million cubic metres) per day of ethane, 80,000 barrels per day (13,000 m3/d) of condensate, 3000 tons of LPG per day plus 400 tons of sulfur per day. Phases 9 & 10 were inaugurated by President Ahmadinejad on March 2009.
Phases 9 & 10 will supply gas for domestic consumption and condensate for export. The project has both offshore and onshore elements. Phase 9 and 10 include two production platforms and associated offshore facilities more than 200km of 32-in pipeline to the port of Bandar Assaluyeh and four onshore trains to process the gas. The production from phases 9 and 10 is expected to include 1.77 billion scf/d of treated gas for delivery to domestic supply grid, 1.05 million tonnes/year of LPG for export and 80,000 b/d of condensate.
