Iran restores gas output at three South Pars platforms after Israeli strikes

Iran has resumed gas production at three offshore platforms in the South Pars field after output was suspended due to Israeli strikes that disrupted processing operations at onshore facilities.

Touraj Dehghani, CEO of the state-run Pars Oil and Gas Company, said on Sunday that the platforms themselves had not sustained any damage during the attacks.

However, he added that production was suspended because some gas-processing facilities along the coast of Bushehr Province were damaged, preventing the handling of gas extracted from the offshore installations.

According to Dehqani, technical and operational measures implemented in the downstream sector, combined with the use of spare capacity at operational refineries, have enabled the resumption of production at three offshore platforms in the giant gas field.

The restored output is being redirected to other gas-processing plants in the region while repairs continue at damaged facilities, including the Phase 14 refinery.

Dehqani further stated that the arrangement would help maximize production from the shared South Pars field while supporting stable refinery feedstock supplies and the country's gas network.

He described the platforms returning to service as evidence of the oil and gas sector's operational resilience, technical capabilities, and coordination across different parts of the industry.

Dehqani added that efforts to restore damaged infrastructure were progressing rapidly, with reconstruction work continuing at the Phase 14 refinery and debris removal operations underway at facilities affected during the US-Israeli aggression.

The Pars Oil and Gas Company is working to restore production capacity as quickly as possible, he said, noting that South Pars accounts for more than 70% of Iran's natural gas supply.

The South Pars Special Economic Energy Zone, a vast offshore gas field and onshore industrial hub in Bushehr province, supplies the bulk of feedstock for Iran's petrochemical industry.

The US and Israel started a fresh round of aerial aggression on Iran on February 28.

Iran began to swiftly retaliate against the strikes by launching barrages of missiles and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on US bases in regional countries.

Back in March, Israel conducted an attack on Iranian gas and oil sites in the South Pars gas field and the Asaluyeh oil refinery amid the ongoing aggression.

At the time, US President Donald Trump said he did not know in advance about Israel's terrorist attack on Iran’s South Pars gas field, but media reports later suggested that the attack was coordinated with the United States.

The attack on Iran's South Pars gas field drew an Iranian retaliatory assault on US military bases and its energy companies across the region.
