Inauguration of 10 thousand billion tomans gas supply project / This summer, gasoline consumption exceeded production

According to the economic correspondent of Fars news agency, Javad Oji, the Minister of Oil, today (Sunday, 6th of Shahrivar) during the operation ceremony and the beginning of the executive operations of the gas supply projects which was held on the occasion of the government week, referring to the actions of the National Gas Company, said: Today, the gas supply projects are worth More than 10 thousand billion Tomans were used.

He said: “Also, more than 5 thousand billion tomans worth of gas supply project to cities, villages and industrial towns was also raised today.” Supplying gas to industries means creating added value and creating more jobs, and thus my colleagues at the National Gas Company are making the most efforts to deliver gas to deprived areas.

Oji added: Last year, when the 13th government started work, estimates indicated a daily deficit of 250 million cubic meters of gas in the cold months of the year, which was due to inattention to attracting capital in the upstream oil industry to develop gas fields and increase production.

* Phase 11 of South Pars will enter the circuit with the production of 10 million cubic meters this winter

He stated: Phase 11 of South Pars, which was exchanged for 20 years as a contract on paper, will start its first production of 10 million cubic meters this winter.

The oil minister said: Also, while the oil ministry was handed over to the current team, only one-fifth of the oil ministry’s budget tasks had been accomplished, thanks to God, with the increase in the volume of oil exports and price growth, we were able to fully accomplish all the budget tasks.

He stated: We are currently facing problems in the field of gasoline supply and managing 4,400 fuel stations is a very difficult task that our colleagues in the Refining and Distribution Company are doing. After several years of corona outbreak, in the summer of this year, people’s travel increased and this caused gasoline consumption to exceed production.

Oji said: I am determined to supply gas to deprived areas of the country, and as I said before, this year is the year of supplying gas to Sistan and Baluchistan province, and this matter is a priority of the Ministry of Oil.
