According to the South Pars Gas Complex, Gholamabbas Hosseini stated
that ethane production during the first six months of this year increased by
7.5% compared to the same period last year, when production stood at about 2
million tons. He added that the high-quality ethane produced was supplied to
the petrochemical complexes in Assaluyeh, playing a vital role in ensuring
stable feedstock and supporting the strategic continuity of petrochemical
operations in the region.
Hosseini emphasized that this production growth not only guarantees
the energy security of these industries but also enhances efficiency and
reduces production costs, thereby improving the global competitiveness of
petrochemical products.
Highlighting the South Pars Complex’s position as one of the country’s
largest energy sources, Hosseini said that processing large volumes of natural
gas within this complex has created a reliable foundation for the development
of petrochemical industries and increased employment in the region.
He also reported the successful production of 285,000 tons of
granulated sulfur in the complex’s refineries during the first half of this
year, noting that this achievement was made possible through high-quality
overhauls and the extensive use of domestically manufactured equipment.
Hosseini concluded by stating that the significant growth in ethane
and byproduct production at the South Pars Gas Complex reflects the dedication
and expertise of its personnel, who play a key role in meeting the country’s
strategic needs and advancing sustainable national economic development.
