The gas storage in the Sarajeh Qom reservoir, as one of the most important gas reservoirs in the country, has been completed. This operation was carried out to meet energy needs during the cold season and to maintain gas pressure stability in the national network. Seyed Hossein Mousavi, head of the Sarajeh Qom operational area of the Central Oil Fields Company of Iran, provided explanations regarding this matter.
The Importance of Gas Storage in the Cold Season
Seyed Hossein Mousavi stated that gas storage in the Sarajeh Qom reservoir is of high importance during the cold days of the year. Considering the drop in gas pressure announced by the National Fuel Committee, the re-production operation in this area begins, and gas is injected into the fifth national pipeline. This action will facilitate a stable energy flow in the country.
Planning for Continued Storage Operations
According to the planned schedules, the gas re-production and the emptying of the Sarajeh Qom storage reservoir will continue until March 6. After the winter season and the decrease in gas consumption in the gas supply network, gas storage operations will resume on April 4. Thus, the Sarajeh Qom reservoir will play its strategic role as one of the first gas storage reservoirs in the cold months of the year.
The Strategic Role of the Sarajeh Qom Reservoir
Mousavi emphasized that the Sarajeh Qom operational area, due to its proximity to Tehran province and the high gas consumption of this province, plays a key role in supplying the necessary gas. This reservoir operates under the management and guidance of the Central Oil Fields Company of Iran and is one of the two main underground gas storage reservoirs in the country, alongside the Shourijeh Khanguiran reservoir, holding special significance.
Overall, the Sarajeh Qom reservoir, with its high storage capacity, plays a key role in meeting the country's gas needs during the cold season, and it is expected that with the continuation of storage operations, the stability and safety of the national gas supply network will be maintained.
