Ankara: Iran resumed gas production at three offshore platforms in the South Pars gas field after disruptions caused by damage to onshore processing facilities by US-Israeli attacks, the state news agency IRNA said Sunday. Touraj Dehqani, chief executive of the Pars Oil and Gas Company, said the restoration of production capacity at the giant gas field was progressing steadily despite recent disruptions.

According to Anadolu Agency, Dehqani highlighted that the recovery of rich gas production and processing capacity in this shared field is advancing smoothly. He credited the progress to the technical capabilities of oil industry specialists, integrated production management, and optimal use of existing capacities. Dehqani further explained that three offshore South Pars platforms have already returned to the production cycle.

Dehqani noted that several offshore platforms connected to damaged refineries had to halt production during the US-Israeli war. Despite their full operational readiness and lack of damage to the offshore facilities themselves, production was stopped due to the inability to receive and process the produced gas onshore.

South Pars, shared by Iran and neighboring Qatar, is recognized as the world's largest natural gas field and is a significant contributor to Iran's natural gas production. The field's operations faced partial disruption following Israeli strikes that targeted energy infrastructure in the Assaluyeh region in March.
