South Pars Gas Platforms Finish Overhauls and Ready for Maximum Winter Output

Hamidreza Masoudi, acting head of Pars Oil and Gas Company, said after visiting the damaged South Pars refineries that removing operational obstacles is a priority for getting through the winter gas-demand peak. Mehr, citing the Oil Ministry, reported on Saturday, November 7, 2026, that the company's operations and support deputy said the annual major overhaul of the gas platforms had finished safely despite wartime conditions and that the platforms are ready for maximum output.

Masoudi cited a recorded daily output of 730 million cubic metres of gas in the Iranian year 1404. The head of production operations said other platform capacity will return to service only if refinery-side restrictions are lifted. The central bank governor had earlier said about one-third of the country's gas production capacity was out of service and rebuilding continues, so offshore readiness alone does not restore full capacity.
