Fajr refinery processes over 32b cubic meters of gas

@T= One of Iran’s largest natural gas refineries processed more than 32 billion cubic meters (1.13 trillion cubic feet) of gas during the last Iranian year, that ended on March 20.
Fajr Jam gas refinery’s Managing Director, Abdolrassul Razzaqi said, “This refinery obtains its gas from Nar and Gangan gas fields and during the past year has played a key part in providing for Iran’s energy basket,” reported SHANA news agency.
Announcing that his refinery produced 12.55 million barrels of liquefied gas products, he added, “in the new year, significant plans will be followed up and each one in turn will create a great transformation.”
Among the bigger achievements of the Fajr Jam refineries over the last 12 months were the commissioning of a new 82.5 megawatt power station, the start-up of an LPG unit and the commissioning of a project for receiving NG from the Asalouyeh region, Razzaqi elaborated.
The Fajr Jam gas refinery operates under the auspices of the National Iranian Gas Company and is located 30 km (19 miles) from the town of Jam on the foothills of the Zagros Mountains, some 300 km (186 miles) from the Persian Gulf port city of Bushehr.
Until 4 years ago, it was Iran’s largest gas refinery and used to produce about half of the domestic requirements.
It is currently in second place, after the South Pars refineries.
According to Oil and Gas Journal, as of January 2010 Iran’s estimated proven natural gas reserves stood at about 29.6 trillion cubic meters (1045 trillion cubic feet), making it second only to Russia.
