Inauguration of this phase will allow the extraction of 3 bcf/d of sour and sweet gas. Furthermore, 120,000 b/d of condensate (more than 34 million barrels a year) and 750 tons of granulated solid sulfur will be produced from this phase. Therefore, Iran’s gas condensate production will grow more than 22% and its gas production more than 16% year-on-year.

Over the past century, Iran has gained $880 billion from crude oil exports. At today’s price of $50 a barrel, Iran’s 100-year revenues from oil sales would become $3.6 trillion, which is still lower than the $4.4 trillion estimated for South Pars.

This gas reservoir is instrumental in boosting Iran’s national, regional and international status. Despite all sanctions and financial restrictions, Iran has managed to add around 100 mcm/d to its gas output from South Pars. Consequently, Iran’s gross national product will grow remarkably and that would be a big achievement for Iran’s economy.
