Going 550 kilometers, the platform is expected to be installed by July.
When operational, the platforms will extract 14 million cubic meters of natural gas per day from the joint offshore field.
Local engineers carried out the designing and construction of the platforms. Domestic manufacturers supplied 60 percent of the goods and equipment required to build the huge structure.
Having completed the operations such as hookup, commissioning, and maritime pipelines, the possibility will be provided to generate 500 million cubic feet a day.
The fourth and last deck namely 14D, with the progress of 91 percent, is being constructed at SADRA yard of Bushehr. It will be completed and consequently installed by October 22.
It is worth mentioning that offshore facilities of phase 14 include 4 platforms (two main and two satellite platforms). SPD14B is the second main platform of this project.
South pars development plan phase 14 aims to daily extract 56.6 mcm of rich gas from the shared tank by means of 4 platforms located in 105 km from Kangan city. The gas is transferred to onshore facilities and converted to 50 mcm of sweet gas, 75000 barrels of gas condensate, 400 tons of sulfur, one million tons of ethane, one million tons of LPG.
South Pars is divided into 24 standard phases of development in the first stage. Most of the phases are fully operational at the moment.
