TEHRAN - Platform 14C of Iran’s South Pars gas field (in the Persian Gulf), which was loaded at Sadra industrial yard in the southwestern province of Bushehr, was shipped on Saturday to be installed on its designated offshore spot.

Installation operation of this platform will be started next week and is scheduled to be finished by mid-October, Public Relations Department of Pars Oil and Gas Company (POGC), which is in charge of implanting development phases of the giant gas field, reported.

Platform 14C, which is the second platform of South Pars phase 14 of development, will add 500 million cubic feet of gas per day to the capacity of the gas field.

South Pars gas field, which Iran shares with Qatar, is estimated to contain a significant amount of natural gas, accounting for about eight percent of the world’s reserves, and approximately 18 billion barrels of condensate. The field is divided into 24 standard phases.
