Iran’s Oil Ministry says the last refinery in its giant South Pars gas field has come on line.

Iranian technology companies will soon begin the country's first ever project to produce helium at South Pars, the world's largest gas field, a senior official says.

Iran’s state petroleum company says production from South Pars phase 11 will start next October.

A subsidiary of the National Iranian Oil Company has carried out drilling operations at the South Pars gas field in the Persian Gulf in search of new hydrocarbon reserves.

Iran produced 267 billion cubic meters of natural gas in 2019, making the country the world’s third-largest dry natural gas producer after the US and Russia despite the most draconian sanctions imposed on the country.

Petropars says gas recovery from the Iranian side of the world’s largest gas field has reached 1.8 tcm.

Minister of Petroleum Bijan Zanganeh says Iran’s gas production has hit the record high above 1 billion cubic meters a day, a milestone reached just three years after the US imposed its most draconian sanctions ever on the Islamic Republic.
