Iran Expands Gas Network by 265 Miles in a Year
(P&GJ) — According to the Tehran Times, Iran expanded its natural gas transmission network by more than 265 miles over the past year, investing roughly €360 million (about $386 million) to strengthen supply and infrastructure nationwide. The update was shared by Behnam Mirzaei, acting head of the Iranian Gas Engineering and Development Company.
The developments include the launch of multiple pipelines across the country, such as a 48-mile line in Ardebil Province and a 75-mile pipeline from Minab to Sirik, intended to support future gas exports. A 50-mile section of the Rasht–Chelvand pipeline was also completed, boosting distribution in the north.
Three gas compressor stations were brought online with €200 million in funding to improve pressure and flow from South Pars fields, while a 23-mile segment of the Laft–Gourzin–Bandar Abbas pipeline was commissioned to supply Qeshm Island industries, Tehran Times reported.
The company also finished several infrastructure upgrades, including regional operation centers, a new condensate export jetty, and a pressure control station in Semnan. These projects aim to enhance the safety, reliability, and flexibility of Iran’s gas network as demand and strategic needs grow.
