Addressing senior directors of Pars Oil and Gas Company on Thursday, Zanganeh said despite harsh financial problems as a result of sanctions over recent years, development of South Pars gas field was not stopped.
He recalled cabinet Wednesday meeting with Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, where he had provided His Excellency with a report on increase in gas production in South Parts.
He said he had informed the Supreme Leader that gas production from the joint field had risen by 150 million cubic meters a day in the 11th government and it is estimated that more than 85 million cubic meters will be added to the amount.
The minister said efforts should be made to bring the desulfurization and ethane production units of the phases of South Pars into production cycle.
He also underlined observation of environmental standards in various water, soil and air sectors.
