Iran's Kish Gas Field to Come On Stream Within a Year

Iran’s Kish gas field in the Persian Gulf will come on stream this year, according to an Iranian official.

Abdolreza Haji Hossein Nejad, director of Iran’s Petroleum Engineering and Development Company, said Saturday that the gas field will start producing 25 million cubic meters of gas per day in the next 12 months, reported Press TV.

Part of the gas from the field will be consumed in the Kish Island and the rest will be fed into the national gas network.

The giant field holds over 38.3 trillion cubic feet of gas and 398 million barrels of condensate.

According to Nejad, a development plan in three phases has been designed for the gas field.
