Shourijeh Gas Storage Capacity to Double

MAPNA Group has been tasked with the development of Shourijeh natural gas storage facility in the northeastern Khorasan Razavi Province by the Iran Gas Engineering and Development Company.
“The total capacity of Shourijeh facility, which currently stands at 2.25 billion cubic meters per day, is planned to reach 4.5 bcm per day,” Managing Director of Iran Gas Engineering and Development Company Reza Noshadi said.
Due to the need to supply gas in the north and northeast in the cold seasons when consumption rises to a great extent and the sharp decline in production expected in the Mozdouran reservoir by 2025, the development project has been planned to increase the capacity of Shourijeh storage facility, which is the main feedstock supplier of Khangiran Refinery in Sarakhs County, Khorasan Razavi Province, the Oil Ministry’s news agency reported.
