TEHRAN (Dispatches) – Operator of South Pars Phase 14 development project Mohammad Mahdi Tavassolipoor said on Saturday that the local technicians at Iran’s giant South Pars gas field have begun an operation to install the last flare stack of the offshore platforms in the Phase 14 of the field.
Tavassolipoorsaid on that the last flare stacks of platforms of Phase 14 is being shipped for installation.
The industrial structure that weighs 510 tons and is 79 meters high has been manufactured in the port city of Bandar Abbas and has been loaded on a homegrown freighter, he added.

It covers an area of 9,700 square kilometers, of which 3,700 square kilometers belongs to Iran.
It is estimated that the Iranian section of the field contains 14 trillion cubic meters of gas and 18 billion barrels of condensates in place.
Meanwhile, Manager of the second refinery of South Pars Mehdi Gerami Shirazi told media that Iran has used the capabilities and experiences of its engineers and experts to boost production in phases 2 and 3 of the South Pars gas field.
"The phases 2 and 3 of the South Pars are producing their products with their highest power using internal capabilities Gerami Shirazi said.
He added that at present 60mln cubic/meters of sweet gas is being produced in phases 2 and 3 of the South Pars.
"At present, the second refinery also has the capability to produce 370 tons of sulfur and 72,000 barrels of gas condensates daily," Gerami Shirazi said.
The South Pars gas field, divided into 28 phases, is located in the Persian Gulf on the common border between Iran and Qatar. The field is estimated to hold 14 trillion cubic meters of gas as well as 18 billion barrels of condensates.
The field covers an area of 9,700 square kilometers, 3,700 square kilometers of which lie in Iran's territorial waters in the Persian Gulf. The remaining 6,000 square kilometers, better known as the North Dome, are located in Qatar's territorial waters.
