Iran Ups LPG Production by 54%

TEHRAN (FNA)- The volume of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) produced in different units across Iran has witnessed a 54% increase during the first four months of the current Iranian year (started on March 21), a senior Iranian gas official announced on Monday.
"Over 466,000 tons of Liquefied Petroleum Gas have been produced in Iran during the first four months of the current Iranian year, showing a 54% increase compared with the same period last year," Manager of the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) for Coordination and Supervision of Production Mehdi Jamshidi Dana told reporters.

The official put the total volume of the natural gas processed in the country's gas refining units at 44.4 billion cubic meters.

Jamshidi Dana further said that Iran has produced 6.8million cubic meters of gas condensates during the first four months of the current year.

Earlier in June, Iranian Deputy Oil Minister Javad Oji announced that the country plans to double the capacity of its natural gas production in less than four years.

Oji reiterated that Iran plans to invest more than $38 billion in its gas projects by the end of the country's Fifth National Development Plan (2010-2015).
