The gas presently produced in association with the crude oil in the Iranian S. oil fields amounts to about 2.1 billion scfd. Of this, only a small amount is used, the remaining major quantity being flared. A project known as Iranian Gas Trunkline (IGAT), is being executed which will deliver the major parts of the gas to Iranian towns and to the U.S.S.R. A colossal gas treating system is now under construction at Bid Boland. This will include dehydration and sweetening facilities as well as a sulfur recovery plant. In 1970, when the trunkline is to be commissioned, the daily gas demand will exceed 900 MMscfd. Of this, about one-third needs to be utilized in Iran and the remainder transmitted to the Irano-Soviet border. The requirements will increase rapidly so that by 1979 total gas demand will almost be doubled, both for internal use and for export to the U.S.S.R. The gas treating facilities, the sulfur plant, and utilities, and the liquid recovery facilities are described. A flow chart is given for the sweetening plant and the dehydration plant.
