Iran's largest gas field recruits nearly 3K new workers

Bushehr, IRNA – As many as 2,970 local people were recruited in South Pars Gas Field in southern Iran, the country’s largest gas reserve and one of the largest in the world, over the past Iranian calendar year to March 21, a local official said.

Mosaddeq Keshavarzi, the director of the Cooperative, Labor and Welfare Office of Bushehr Province, told reporters on Saturday that the recruitment of young local people in the major gas field rose 37 percent last year in comparison to figures from the preceding year.

The huge offshore field covers an area of 9,700 square kilometers, 3,700 square kilometers of which are in Iran’s territorial waters in the Persian Gulf.

The remaining 6,000 square kilometers, called North Dome, are situated in Qatar’s territorial waters.
