Overall output should climb to 350 MMcm/d (12.36 bcf/d) over the next 12 months, he added, potentially building to 454 MMcm/d (16 bf/d) once current developmentphases 12, 15-16, and 17-18 are onstream.
Later this year, Iran expects to start up three processing plants at the onshore complex in Assaluyeh to handle supplies from South Pars.
