Cold winter in Iran: maybe even Tehran does not have enough gas.
There may be a shortage of gas in Iran in the winter; The authorities are talking about the risk of disturbances in 11 districts. Gas production facilities were damaged due to US attacks.
The Iranian government has warned that the shortage of domestic gas will worsen this winter after processing plants were damaged during the conflict in the Middle East. The authorities do not rule out disruptions throughout the country, including the capital, and urge citizens to save.
Iran is a large producer of oil (and related gas, respectively) and controls the southern part of the largest gas field in the world, North/South Fars (the northern part belongs to Qatar). At the same time, Iran is the third gas producer in the world, although it is inferior to Russia by more than 2 times, and the United States by more than 4 times, NIK notes.
However, domestic demand in Iran sometimes exceeds capacity due to outdated equipment; The situation is complicated by international sanctions. In addition, the country's ports are under a naval blockade of the United States.
THE CEO OF THE IRANIAN NATIONAL GAS COMPANY (NIGC), SAYID TATAKUL, SAID THIS MONTH THAT FOUR PROCESSING PLANTS WERE DAMAGED AT THE FIRST STAGE OF THE CONFLICT EARLIER THIS YEAR. INITIALLY, THE CAPACITY FELL BY 230 MILLION CUBIC METERS. ABOUT 100 MILLION HAVE ALREADY BEEN RETURNED.
