Iran has inaugurated a new platform at the Phase 21 of South Pars gas field, thus adding 28 million cubic meters per day (mcm/d) of gas to the production.
"The production capacity of South Pars has reached 515 mcm/d," the managing director of South Pars phases 20 and 21, Alireza Ebadi, said.
During the last fiscal year, the nominal production capacity of South Pars stood at 430 mcm/d.
