Domestic companies propel Iran’s South Pars gas production increase

Collaboration with 120 knowledge-based companies in Iran has led to a 73% increase in gas production at the South Pars Gas Complex through the localization of refinery equipment.

According to the Communications and Information Center of the Vice-Presidency for Science, Technology, and Knowledge-Based Economy, the South Pars Gas Complex has made significant strides towards self-sufficiency by working with 120 domestic and knowledge-based companies. 

Saeed Heydari, the commercial manager of the complex, announced that over 11,589 essential parts and equipment needed for the refineries have been localized.

Heydari emphasized that the primary priority of the complex’s management is to utilize the capacity of domestic companies. Localizing this volume of goods and equipment has not only met the refineries’ needs but also broken the monopoly of foreign suppliers.

He also reported the ongoing construction of 160 strategic items this year, relying on the expertise of young Iranians. The complex collaborates with companies, consortia, and science and technology parks, aiming to expand these partnerships.

Heydari noted that over 95% of the parts and equipment needed for the South Pars refineries have been localized. With continued close cooperation with domestic manufacturers, they hope to achieve 100% localization by the end of the Iranian year on March 21.
