South Pars Gas Output Held After the SPD14D Platform Fire; National Gas Company Says the Grid Is Stable

Mehr News Agency, citing the Oil Ministry, reports that Sepehdar Abbaszadeh, the Pars Oil and Gas Company's deputy for operations and support, said the fire in the southern section of the SPD14D platform in South Pars broke out at 19:30 on Tuesday, 10 November 2026 (19 Aban), and has been fully contained. The 17 platform staff who left in a lifeboat are safe after about 15 hours at sea, with no injuries reported. The platform produced about 14 million cubic metres of gas a day, which has been made up from the capacity of other platforms in the field.

Saeed Tavakoli, managing director of the National Iranian Gas Company, told Mehr that integrated management between the oil and gas units helped keep the national gas grid stable. He said gas use in Tehran province reached 95 million cubic metres on the morning of Wednesday, 11 November (20 Aban), and household and commercial use nationwide came to nearly 450 million cubic metres; in the shift from the warm season to the cold, actual use is at times slightly above forecasts.
