Chabahar Petrochemical Complexes to Increase Production up to 15mln tons
TEHRAN (FNA)- Planning Manager of the National Iranian Petrochemical Company (NIPC) Ramezan Oladi announced that the company plans to boost the output of the petrochemical complexes in the Southeastern Chabahar city up to 15mln tons.
Oladi said on Saturday that the NIPC plans to construct the required infrastructures for the production of 15 million tons of different petrochemical products in Chabahar in the southeastern province of Sistan and Balouchestan.
Oladi also added that about $20 billion of investment is needed in order to produce 15 million tons of petrochemicals in Chabahar.
The official further noted that about 20 million cubic meters of natural gas per day and 3.6 million tons of ethane per year are required as the feedstock for the production of this amount of petrochemicals.
He stated that the National Iranian Gas Company has signed a contract to extend Iran's seventh gas trunk line from Iranshahr to Chabahar to provide the natural gas feedstock.
Oladi went on to say that the needed ethane feedstock will be procured through a 24- to 28-inch pipeline from the South Pars gas field in Assaluyeh in the southern province of Bushehr to Chabahar, scheduled to be constructed in the next 36 months.
Earlier in August, NIPC Managing Director Abdolhossein Bayat said that Iranian petrochemical products worth about $14 billion would be exported by the end of the current Iranian calendar year, which ends on March 19, 2012.
