The facility is now receiving 500 million cubic feet more gas from the offshore platforms of the phases. The gas is injected to the national gas trunkline after processing at the refinery.
Platform 18B came online recently and is now feeding onshore refinery facilities of the phase with natural gas.
The new gas supply has bolstered the refinery's daily output by 500 tons of ethane and 20,000 barrels of gas condensate.
The platform was installed in August in Persian Gulf waters.
Phases 17&18 are being developed for production of 50 mcm/d of natural gas, 80,000 b/d of gas condensate, 400 tons a day of sulfur, 1 million tons a year of ethane and 1.05 million tons a year of liquefied gas.
Oil Industries' Engineering and Construction (OIEC), Iran’s Industrial Development and Renovation Organization (IDRO), Iranian Offshore engineering Company (IOEC), National Iranian Offshore Engineering and Construction Company (NIOEC) and Iranian Marine Industrial Company are in charge of Phases 17&18.
