National Iranian Gas Company
The National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) was established in 1965 as one of the four principal company, companies affiliated to the Ministry of Petroleum of Iran, Ministry of Petroleum of the Islamic Republic of Iran with 25,000 million Iranian rial, Rials initial capital. NIGC is responsible for the treatment, transmission, and delivery of natural gas to the domestic, industrial, and commercial sectors and List of power stations in Iran, power plants. The National Iranian Gas Exports Company (NIGEC) was created in 2003 to manage and to supervise all gas pipeline and LNG projects. Until May 2010, NIGEC was under the control of the NIOC, but the Petroleum Ministry transferred NIGEC, incorporating it under NIGC in an attempt to broaden responsibility for new natural gas projects. As at 2012, 12,750 villages have been connected to gas network. NIGC does not play a role in awarding upstream gas projects; that task remains in the hands of the National Iranian Oil Company. Iran has the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

South Pars Gas Field
The South Pars/North Dome field is a natural-gas condensate field located in the Persian Gulf. It is by far the world's largest natural gas field, IEA, World Energy Outlook 2008 - Chapter 12 - Natural gas resources and production prospects, p.298 with ownership of the field shared between Iran and Qatar. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the field holds an estimated of in-situ natural gas and some of natural gas condensates. On the list of natural gas fields it has almost as much recoverable reserves as all the other fields combined. It has significant geostrategic influence. This gas field covers an area of , of which (South Pars) is in Iranian territorial waters and (North Dome) is in Qatari territorial waters. Field geology The field is below the seabed at a water depth of , and consists of two independent gas-bearing formations: Kangan (Triassic) and Upper Dalan (Permian). Each formation is divided into two different reservoir layers, separated by imper ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Iran Natural Gas Reserves
According to the Iran Petroleum Ministry, the proved natural gas reserves of Iran are about or about 17.8% of world's total reserves, of which 33% are as associated gas and 67% is in non associated gas fields. It has the world's second largest reserves after Russia. As it takes approximately of gas to equal the energy content of of oil, Iran's gas reserves represent the equivalent of about of oil. The US Energy Information Administration estimated Iran's proved gas reserves as of 2016 to be , rendering it second in the world. Iran is one of the most hydrocarbon-rich areas in the world. Since the nation's first oil well in 1908, 145 hydrocarbon fields and 297 oil and gas reservoirs have been discovered in Iran, with many fields having multiple pay zones. A total of 102 fields are oil and the remaining 43 are gas, and there are 205 oil reservoirs and 92 natural gas reservoirs. According to Iran Energy Balance Sheet (2009, in Persian), 78 of these fields are currently acti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aghajari Gas Injection Project
Aghajari Gas Injection Project is the world’s biggest enhanced oil recovery) project to be inaugurated in Iran in late 2008. The reservoir dimension of Aghajari fields is 56×6 km with the original oil-in-place of and 10.2 billion barrels of recoverable oil (based on latest studies). The total quantities extracted since the start of operations at Aghajari till this date have been 8.8 bn barrels.PEDEC Website However, production has been on the decline because of loss of pressure and oil extraction, so that current output is a day. With injection of of gas per day ( of gas in total) from the south pars field and subsequent buildup of pressure, an additional quantity of of oil will be produced. It is also estimated that daily crude oil output of the field will increase to . Project consists of three main parts; ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Nationalization Of The Iran Oil Industry Movement
The nationalization of the Iranian oil industry resulted from a movement in the Iranian parliament (Majlis) to seize control of Iran's oil industry, which had been run by private companies, largely controlled by foreign interests. The legislation was passed on March 15, 1951, and was verified by the Majlis on March 17, 1951. The legislation led to the nationalization of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (AIOC). The movement was led by Mohammad Mosaddegh, a member of the Majlis for the National Front and future prime minister of Iran. The movement to nationalize the oil industry was the reaction to the following concessions made by Iran to foreign powers: the Reuter concession of 1872, proceeding letter, D'Arcy Concession?] the 1933 agreement between the Iranian government and AIOC, and the Gas-golshaian /sup> contract. According to the political scientist Mark J. Gasiorowski, the oil nationalization movement had two major results: the establishment of a democratic government and the ...

Liquefied Natural Gas
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas (predominantly methane, CH4, with some mixture of ethane, C2H6) that has been cooled down to liquid form for ease and safety of non-pressurized storage or transport. It takes up about 1/600th the volume of natural gas in the gaseous state (at standard conditions for temperature and pressure). LNG is odorless, colorless, non-toxic and non-corrosive. Hazards include flammability after vaporization into a gaseous state, freezing and asphyxia. The liquefaction process involves removal of certain components, such as dust, acid gases, helium, water, and heavy hydrocarbons, which could cause difficulty downstream. The natural gas is then condensed into a liquid at close to atmospheric pressure by cooling it to approximately ; maximum transport pressure is set at around (gauge pressure), which is about one-fourth times atmospheric pressure at sea level. The gas extracted from underground hydrocarbon deposits contains a varying mix of hy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
