The manager of Region 6 of Iran's gas transfer operations added: "The implementation of improvement, repair, and innovative projects in the region has not only ensured the continuity of gas transfer but has also prevented the stoppage of gasoline, oil, and gas production in Hormozgan province's refineries and the gas outages of Hormozgan and Kerman power plants." These actions demonstrate the serious commitment of Region 6 to enhance efficiency and safety in gas transfer.
Challenges and Future Plans
Bani Asadi pointed out the existing challenges in the region, stating: "The single pipeline being the main gas transfer route to Hormozgan and Kerman provinces is considered one of the significant operational challenges of the region." He also mentioned future plans, including major and periodic repairs of turbines and compressors at the Sirjan, Tang-e-Ni, and desalination facilities, adding: "Repairing pipelines based on the results of smart pigging, modifying sensitive pipeline intersections, and replacing strategic equipment are among the important priorities of the region in the coming months."
The manager of Region 6 of Iran's gas transfer operations concluded by emphasizing that operational areas are the executive arm of the gas transfer company, and the sustainability of safe gas transfer, preventive maintenance, energy consumption management, reduction of pollutant emissions, and rapid response in emergencies are realized in these areas. Additionally, the successful experience of replacing 213 outdated window air conditioners with high-efficiency split units, which has led to an annual saving of 1.6 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, can serve as a successful model for other subsidiaries in the gas industry.
