Gas production broke the record of one billion cubic meters

According to the report of Fars news agency’s economy reporter, Javad Oji, the oil minister, in a live connection with Khabar news network, announced at the Torbetjam gas pressure boosting ceremony: At the same time as the unprecedented cold in the winter of this year, during which the temperature was 20 degrees below zero in 25 provinces of the country, the headquarters Sohot was established with the cooperation of the Khorasan Governor and the General Director of Gas of Khorasan Province.

He said: At the same time as the unprecedented cold in our friendly country, a similar thing happened in Turkmenistan, and that country was forced to cut off its gas exports to Iran, as a result, the gas pressure in the northeast of the country and in the main branches of the gas supply network suffered a pressure drop. And for the people of Torbetjam, there were problems in the cold season. Of course, the officials of the gas company had made this prediction in advance and had predicted oil and electric heaters for the people, and also the electricity and gas bills of these people were paid by the government.

The Minister of Oil stated: This year, a unique gas record was broken in 21 processing refineries of the country, and the production and transmission of gas exceeded one billion cubic meters.

He also said that the Torbetjam incident required coordination and cooperation. In this context, the gas storage discussion is being pursued with the governor of Khorasan and the manager of the gas company in Khorasan province, in the short term, the transmission of Salehabad-Torbetjam gas, and in the medium term, with the cooperation of the representative of Torbetjam in the parliament and the governor. Shourideh Phase 2 field is followed for storage of CNG, SNG and mini LPG gas.

The oil minister also said: “The studies of the 11th pipeline are nearing completion, and the gas transmission line from Dashtak to Nehbandan will be operational soon.” Also, the Aradan-Mohammadiyeh and Parchin lines are mid-term and long-term solutions, which we hope will prevent the people of the three provinces of Khorasan, Golestan, and Semnan from experiencing a drop in gas pressure in the coming years.

Oji also said: With the planning done and the promise we made to the people, the gas supply challenge in Golestan, Semnan and Khorasan provinces should be resolved. In this regard, we have taken help from Khatam construction camp and wherever a key and jihadi project comes up, we go to Khatam camp.

He added: According to the promise made by Mr. Hosh Al-Sadat and Mousavi, a 70-kilometer gas transmission pipeline will be built by the end of autumn, and the gas supply network in the northeast will be strengthened. Also, the 11th Dashtak-Nehbandan pipeline will be built in the long term.

The oil minister stated: This year, we provided 1.8 billion liters of kerosene for liquid fuel, and gas production increased by 20 million cubic meters. Also, with the planning done, gas consumption in winter reached 700 million cubic meters per day, which was an unprecedented figure, however, we passed this cold winter with minimal challenges. We have 27 million gas subscribers in the country, of which only 90,000 people are in Torbet Jam, of which 17,000 subscribers had problems, but we provided them with oil and electric heaters.

The Minister of Oil also said that during the nights of gas interruption for the people of Torbet, I turned off the heating system in my house, although my children protested, but they said that we do not want a heating system so that people do not have gas.

Oji also said that among other measures of the government is the payment of the gas and electricity bills of the people of Torbat Jam by the government and the provision of liquid gas capsules that were distributed to the people.

He added: A lot of efforts were made for industrial gas and power plants with the cooperation of all agencies. This year was an unprecedented investment. The enemy had also planned to create a challenge for the people, but fortunately, with the cooperation of Khatam camp and the opening of projects, this winter also went well.
