Bovard’s visit to the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone is his first
operational trip since taking over as acting minister. The visit focuses on
assessing reconstruction progress, identifying obstacles and following up on
measures needed to complete repairs and restore damaged facilities to service.
Several Iranian gas processing plants in the South Pars region were
damaged in attacks during what Iranian officials call the “Third Imposed War,”
reducing the country’s gas processing and production capacity.
The Oil Ministry has mobilised technical and operational resources to
rebuild the affected facilities and restore lost capacity, with particular
emphasis on maintaining gas supplies as temperatures fall and demand rises.
Bovard is also scheduled to visit petrochemical facilities and attend a
meeting to assess reconstruction across South Pars energy infrastructure, SHANA
reported.
