Farakh Alikhani, the managing director of the National Iranian Oil Company, considered the early revival of gas production capacity in the South Pars field a priority during his visit to the damaged gas field refineries. He mentioned that the purpose of this visit was to convey the President's and the Minister of Oil's appreciation for the round-the-clock efforts of the project executors and to assess the progress of work, the status of financial resource provision, necessary items and equipment, as well as the mechanisms and approaches for reconstruction to restart these projects.
Reconstruction Process and Financial Resource Provision
During this visit, Alikhani received reports on the reconstruction activities from the project executors and expressed confidence in the current reconstruction process. He stated: "Given the efforts that our colleagues are making, we are confident that the planned goals and programs will be achieved on time." These statements come at a time when the South Pars gas field, as one of the largest gas fields in the world, requires special attention to increase its production capacity.

Focus on Safety and Accelerating Startup
Alikhani also emphasized the necessity of adhering to safety procedures and accelerating the reconstruction process. He clarified: "The main focus of these projects is on priority units, with the aim of speeding up the startup of the refineries. However, necessary actions must also be taken to provide items and goods needed for other work fronts in the damaged sectors simultaneously with other activities." This emphasis on safety and coordination in the reconstruction process, as one of the key requirements in large industrial projects, will play a significant role in reducing production downtime and increasing operational capacity.
Currently, the South Pars gas field, with a daily production capacity of over 700 million cubic meters of gas, is considered one of the main sources of energy supply for the country. The reconstruction and improvement of this field's capacity can have a direct impact on the country's energy security and economic development.
