AIIran has announced it has restored about half of the production capacity that was damaged at the South Pars gas field, as part of a plan to bring all halted operations back online before the start of winter.
Ahmad Zeraatkar, Iranian Deputy Oil Minister for Planning, said recovery efforts are progressing rapidly, with several units returning to service ahead of schedule.
According to Iran's Mehr News Agency, these developments follow damage sustained by Iran's gas production and processing facilities during the war, which led to a significant loss of gas output and increased pressure on the domestic supply network.
The oil minister, as quoted by the agency, added that the ministry has implemented a program to restore damaged production capacity, and workers have managed to bring some South Pars units back online ahead of the planned timeline.
Zeraatkar had previously announced in August that about 40% of the damaged production capacity at South Pars had already been restored.
The deputy oil minister confirmed that the recovery plan is proceeding as scheduled, noting that all planned work will be completed before the start of winter.
It is noteworthy that facilities related to Iranian gas production and processing were damaged during the war, with attacks reducing the operational capacity of several units and plants.
