Pars Oil and Gas Reports Progress in South Pars Refinery Rebuild, Targets Full Capacity This Year

Touraj Dehghani, chief executive of Pars Oil and Gas Company, said during a visit on Friday, October 16, 2026, that reconstruction of the South Pars phase 14 gas refinery was about 80 percent complete and work was under way on its last damaged processing unit. He said the company hopes to restore the refinery to full gas-supply capacity before the end of the current Iranian year; it has not yet returned to full operation.

Dehghani said lessons from this rebuild were being used to restore the damaged third and fifth refineries as well. Restoring processing units matters for gas supply during the colder season. Mehr carried his remarks citing Iran's Oil Ministry.
