Performance of Shourijeh D Reservoir
The storage reservoir of the Shourijeh D field, which falls under the operational domain of the East Oil and Gas Production Company, is specifically designed for gas storage. This field stores gas from the beginning of the warm season until the end of October to prevent gas pressure from dropping during the winter. According to Rezaei, this operation is repeated annually, and currently, the Sarajeh Qom and Shourijeh Khanguiran reservoirs are recognized as the main underground gas storage hubs in the country.
Furthermore, the production manager of the Central Oil Company expressed gratitude for the cooperation and coordination between the National Iranian Oil Company's production oversight management and the National Gas Company of Iran, emphasizing that these collaborations will help achieve storage goals and ensure energy supply during the cold season.
Future of Gas Storage
Gas storage at Shourijeh D Khanguiran is considered not only a technical and operational action but also a fundamental strategy in managing the country's gas resources. Given the increasing need for gas during the cold seasons, these storages can play a key role in supplying the country's energy. Therefore, the continuation of these activities and the improvement of storage processes in the coming years are of special importance.
