The project, which was recently awarded as the country's top mega
project by the Ninth National Project Management Award, has been announced third
among four final nominees for the IPMA’s 2020 Global Project Excellence Award in
the energy sector.
As reported, according to the selection of the judges of this international
competition, the megaprojects are divided and assessed in two categories of
infrastructure and energy.
As the largest gas refinery project in West Asia with an investment of
$3.4 billion, the Persian Gulf Bidboland project is now in operation.
Located in Behbahan County in the southwest, Bid Boland will have an
annual production capacity of 10.4 million tons of methane, 1.5 million tons of
ethane, one million tons of propane, 600,000 tons of gas condensates, and
500,000 tons of butane, once fully operational.
With the implementation of the project, the production capacity of Iran’s
sweet and other gases will increase, which will be used to feed petrochemical
plants in Mahshahr and supply urban areas in the region. Exports are also
anticipated.
