The NITC chief said the offshore development plans were implemented in South Pars, North Pars, Golashan, and Ferdows gas fields.

According to him, the 24 phases of South Pars field would yield 182.5 million tons of liquefied gas per annum.

“If each ton of liquefied gas costs 300 dollars, Iran will earn over 57 billion dollars yearly,” he predicted.

Suri added that the gas field would produce 48 million tons of gas condensates per year.

He said each phase of the SP field would produce 200 tons of sulfur, adding the total production of 24 phases would exceed 1.752 million tons.

Suri said North Pars, Golashan, and Ferdows gas fields would totally produce 40 million tons of gas annually.

“According to the prediction, the four fields have the capacity to produce for 61 years, earning the country 6.213 trillion dollars,” he added.
