TEHRAN, Iran — The South Pars Phase 13 Alpha platform in the Persian Gulf is ready to start producing gas, according to a report from news service Shana.

Minister of Petroleum Javad Owji said the facility will initially produce 5 MMcm/d to 6 MMcm/d, rising later to 21 MMcm/d to 22 MMcm/d.

The platform had suffered severe structural damage after being struck by a Bahrain-owned commercial vessel, but it has since undergone repairs and renovations.

Earlier this year, National Iranian Oil Co. (NIOC) started operating the new offshore gas export pipeline for the Phase 16 development of South Pars in the Persian Gulf.
