The CEO of the Petrochemical Industries Development Management Company (PIDMCO), accompanied by the CEO of Bidboland Gas Refining Company and a team of technical experts, conducted a two-day field visit to assess the latest progress of Iran’s national flare gas recovery project in the East Karoun region.
According to PIDMCO’s Public Relations Office, the delegation visited several key sites, including the Pazanan-1 dehydration unit, power substations at Aghajari stations 1 through 5, and dehydration and compression facilities at Aghajari stations 2, 3, and 4. Expert meetings were also held to review technical challenges and evaluate solutions for expediting the completion of the project.
At the conclusion of the visit, Mostafa Motadayyen, CEO of PIDMCO, expressed satisfaction with the project’s progress, stating:
“So far, 10 flare stacks have been successfully decommissioned and integrated into the system. This national project has advanced thanks to close collaboration among the client, contractors, and the National Iranian South Oilfields Company. We regard this initiative as a strategic undertaking, both in terms of environmental impact and prevention of valuable energy resource loss.”
He emphasized that the core mission of the project is “turning smoke into profit”—by converting flared gas into economic value, preventing waste of national resources, and creating long-term value for the country.
Motadayyen added that PIDMCO experts and managers are working tirelessly, and noted that the MC (Management Contractor) team of the project was recognized among the company’s top-performing units last year. He expressed confidence in the team’s capabilities to bring the project to completion with precision and speed.
In closing, the CEO reiterated PIDMCO’s full commitment to driving the project forward with all available resources. He extended his gratitude to all staff involved in the effort and stated:
“We hope this project will be remembered as a proud and enduring milestone in PIDMCO’s history—contributing to the advancement of the national oil and gas industry.
