The administration also increased the annual gas production by 53 million cubic meters, which marked a 5% growth, he added.
Gas extraction from the South Pars gas field, which is shared with Qatar, has increased as well, he said, adding that Iran’s extraction is 75 to 100 million cubic meters higher.
According to the minister, Iran’s annual petrochemical production has now reached 100 million metric tons following a 10-percent growth. At least four petrochemical projects are also set to be inaugurated, Owji said, without specifying the projects and the timing of the inauguration.
