An official with Pars Oil and Gas Company (POGC), Mohyeddin Jafari, said
the terminal was to be used for export of the items produced at the giant
offshore South Pars gas field.
National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) has decided to establish an export
and service terminal in Tombak in Pars II, where eight refinery phases and one
liquefied natural gas (LNG) project are located.
The manager of oil and gas projects' logistics at the POGC said by March
2020 construction of two breakwaters for the port would be complete. The
breakwaters are 5 kilometers long, Shana reported.
He said two jetties for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) exports were being
built in the terminal. Each jetty could berth vessels with up to 50,000 tons of
capacity.
The idea is aimed at exporting liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and sulfur
produced by South Pars .
Tombak, in addition to exporting products, will help provide services to
vessels navigating at the port.
It would be able to export petrochemical products from plants in Kangan
and the refined products of the Siraf refineries. With a depth of 37 meters,
Tombak Port is the deepest port in Iran and the Persian Gulf region.
Iran is currently recovering 570 mcm/d of gas from South Pars.
Development of South Pars is under way. Iran LNG and SP 11, SP12, SP13, SP14,
SP19, SP22, SP23 and SP24 are located in Pars II zone (Kangan) covering 16,000
ha of land.
