Project Profile
Value: US$780 million
Location: Persian Gulf
Start-up Year: October 2004
Production: 500mcf/d (July 2015)
Area: 9,700 square kilometres
Water Depth: 67 metres-72 metres
The US$780m development is operated by Petropars (NIOC Pension Fund 60%, Industrial Development and Renovation Organisation 40%). Around US$300m worth of contracts were signed with Samsung and Sadra. The utility facilities started operating in 2002 and the process facilities were operating by July 2003, giving a total output of one billion cubic feet of gas a day and 40,000bpd of gas condensates. South Pars phase 1 output up 500mcf/d in July 2015
Awarded to Petronas in January 1998, the first phase of offshore development included the construction and installation of a production platform, a processing platform and a residential platform. Gas and condensate are extracted through 12 wells drilled to a depth of 3,670 metres. Hydrocarbons are transported from the production platform to the processing platform via an 18-inch-diameter subsea pipeline, and then transferred to an onshore refinery via a 32 inch-diameter, 105 kilometre subsea pipeline. The project came onstream in October 2004 with a daily production rate of 28 MMscm/d.
Offshore Facilities:
The offshore facilities of this phase are located 105 km far from Asalouyeh port and include two platforms with 12 wells, a process platform, a residential platform with the capacity to accommodate 92 persons, 18 inch under sea pipeline with approximate length of 5.5 km for transferring gas from production platform to process platform, a 32 inch under sea pipeline with length of 105 km for transferring gas and gas liquids to the onshore refinery, a 30 inch export pipeline with 3 km length and a Single Buoy Mooring (SBM) terminal . Gas and gas condensate are transferred through a two phased method.
onshore Facilities:
The onshore facilities of this phase consist of gas and gas condensate receiving and separation unit, gas condensate stabilisation unit, sweetening unit, dehydration and demercaptanisation unit, adjusting gas dew point and compression for transferring and recovery and granulation unit.
