The onshore facilities of Pars 2 Region in Kangan will be used to process gas produced by the Farzad B field.

According to estimates, the field holds 23 trillion cubic feet of in-place gas reserves and gas condensates of 5,000 barrels per billion cubic feet of gas.

ONGC Videsh (OVL), the overseas investment arm of India’s Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC), discovered the gas field in 2008.

Later, a consortium of OVL, Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and Oil India (OIL) offered to develop the field with an investment of up to $11bn.

However, talks over the field development between the consortium and Iran ended following the US sanctions in 2018.

The field is located in the Farsi bloc on the border between Iran and Saudi Arabia.
