Shana, the news agency affiliated with Iran’s Oil Ministry, published an update on 9 October 2026 from the head of the South Pars Gas Complex (SPGC) on restoring production capacity at its facilities. Managing director Gholam Abbas Hosseini said 100 million cubic metres of gas production capacity had been brought back online through early-production programmes and operational work after four refineries were damaged. The source does not state the time basis for “100 million cubic metres” as an hourly or daily rate, so this article does not convert it to daily production capacity.

The executive said the complex continued operating to maintain gas supply and that capacity at affected facilities was being restored in stages. The return of some capacity does not mean the facilities have all been fully repaired or that total output has reached its pre-damage level. The source gives no figure for the total amount of production capacity lost or for the amount that remains to be restored. This article records only the stated 100 million cubic metres brought back.

The SPGC chief said debris removal had been completed at the four affected refineries and selected contractors were involved in reconstruction. The complex is using an “early production” approach to restart some sections step by step before full reconstruction is finished. This describes the current operating method; the report does not give firm commissioning dates, capital spending or a completion percentage. It says part of the remaining capacity may return earlier than scheduled, which is the executive’s expectation rather than a completed result.

The source says South Pars plays a role in national gas supply, feedstock for the petrochemical industry and production of some important energy products. This context explains why capacity recovery matters to the country’s energy system. The announcement does not quantify how much of the complex’s gas goes to households, industry or petrochemical feedstock. A facility restart cannot be equated numerically with an equal additional volume delivered to consumers nationwide.

Alongside reconstruction, the early-production strategy allows sections that are partly operable to return in stages. This operational approach can restore some capacity before all repairs are complete. The report does not separately describe the reliability, continuity, quality standards or performance of each refinery. The 100 million cubic metres figure should therefore be understood as the complex management’s aggregate capacity statement, not a measured daily flow for each facility.

The executive said field teams were continuing work to restore more damaged capacity and complete reconstruction. The source supplies neither a date for full recovery nor a separate target for the remaining capacity. It describes a strategy of continuing operations in stages while repairs proceed in parallel. This requires a distinction between reported recovery and forward-looking expectation: the 100 million cubic metres brought back is presented as an accomplished development, while an early return of some remaining capacity is an expectation.

This report focuses on infrastructure and production capacity. Shana’s account says four refineries were damaged and 100 million cubic metres of capacity was restored, while additional rehabilitation continues. Because the source does not define the time basis for the capacity amount, the data block preserves that limitation. The article does not claim a daily gas-production level, an annual target or full restoration of all damage.
