Referring to complementary operations of the platform 14C, masoudi stated since the CRA pipes have been provided, the drilling rig is located on the wells and the further operations will carry out on the location.
Project director announced that we are preparing a condition to transfer rich sour gas produced from the platform 14A to phase 12 refinery. He continued: “To transfer this amount of gas, an interconnection pipeline with the length of 5 km has been included in the agenda between these two phases and its operations are being performing with the proper process.”
The platforms 14A and 14B, with the progress of 93 and 80 respectively, are being constructed at the industrial yard of ISOICO Company in Bandar Abbas. The contractor is engaged in precommissioning and commissioning of the platform 14A so that it is to be installed by the end of January 2018.
