Ninth Refinery At A GlanceSouth Pars

The Ninth refinery of South Pars Gas Complex (phase 12) started exporting gas from March 2013, which was fully operational until February 2013. This refinery, with an area of about 230 hectares, is located in the southeastern of the South Pars area and the eastern edge of the common water border between Iran and Qatar. The natural gas produced in this refinery is transported by a distance of about 150 km from the seabed to the refinery located in the Tombak area, 15 km east of Kangan. The daily feed of the refinery is 85 million cubic meters of sour gas, from 34 operational wells that are extracted through three platforms, and also the processing of 120 thousand barrels of gas condensate per day and 750 tons of sulfur are other products of this refinery. The produced gas of this refinery was sent to the Kangan Petro-refining complex and after separating ethane, butane and propane from the gas and sweetening, it returned to the refinery and then through the sixth national pipeline to supply a major part of the country's growing natural gas needs in the southwest and west of the country. The gas condensate produced as a valuable product is loaded to export. After granulation, the produced sulfur goes to export markets through the Pars service dock.
