Farhad Shahraki, deputy chairman of Iran’s Parliament Energy Committee, said the Economic Council had recently approved the South Pars gas-field pressure-boosting project and that the decision should accelerate work, according to Shana on October 9. The report gave no new production-capacity figure or completion date.

Shahraki said Pars Oil and Gas Company, contractors, the Oil Ministry and parliament had worked together in recent weeks, and that some delays might be recovered. He said companies of different sizes could contribute equipment and work packages. This is a legislator’s account of approval and implementation plans, not a completed investment or measured production increase.
