TEHRAN – The launch of the first mobile TSP-type multiphase pump station at Well 21 in the Ahvaz field has increased the well’s production from 800 to 1,200 barrels per day and will prevent the annual flaring of 1 million cubic meters of associated gas, according to the head of the Preservation and Production Enhancement Projects Department of the National Iranian South Oil Company (NISOC).
In a report from the National Iranian Oil Company, Abdolmagid Esfandiyarpour said the commissioning of the first TSP multiphase pump station in the Ahvaz field is a significant step for the oil-rich regions in using multiphase pump technology to manage low-pressure wells and enhance production stability.
He stated that the project for the design, procurement, installation, and launch of the mobile TSP multiphase pump was defined by the National Iranian Oil Company’s Engineering and Development Management. After going through the engineering, procurement, and operational execution phases, it was commissioned in October 2025 as part of the Ahvaz 14 Preservation and Production Enhancement Plan for Well 21. All stages of design, engineering, equipment supply, and operations were carried out by local specialists, he added.
The head of the department further explained that by boosting the wellhead pressure, the project enabled the well’s production flow to be transferred to the primary separation stage at the Ahvaz 1 exploitation facility, preventing the annual flaring of 1 million cubic meters of rich associated gas.
Esfandiyarpour emphasized that wells in the second half of their lifespan, which face declining flow rates and reduced pressure, require new technologies to sustain production, and the implementation of this project is a practical response to this need.
