Tehran, IRNA – Iran’s gas production from a field it shares with Qatar in the Persian Gulf has exceeded that of Qatar, according to the Director of Gas Dispatching Department in the National Iranian Gas Company Mohammadreza Julaei.

Julaei made the remarks late on Monday while speaking to reporters at South Pars Gas Complex (SPGC) in Assalouyeh in southern Iranian province of Bushehr.

Some 70% of Iran’s gas needs are supplied from South Pars, the official said.

He added that all 13 refineries at South Pars are currently operational and work with maximum capacity.
