Iran LNG, also known as NIOC LNG, is a LNG plant under development at Tombak Port, approximately 50 kilometres (31 mi) north of Assaluyeh Port and 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) southeast of Kangan, Iran. [1]
Construction of the LNG plant started in 2007. [2] In April 2007, Austrian oil company OMV signed a preliminary agreement to participate in the project; however, the final agreement is not signed. [3]
The project includes two LNG trains each with capacity of 5.4 million tons of LNG per annum. [2] [4] The trains will use the Linde Liquefaction Process.
The Iran LNG project consists of the LNG plant, including storage and loading facilities and following units:
It will be supplies from the phase 12 of the South Pars gas field. [5]
The LNG plant is expected to come online in 2011. [6]
The LNG plant is designed by consortium of Linde, Hyundai, and Snamprogetti. The engineering consortium for gas sweetening operations comprises Iranian companies Farab and Namvaran, and an Italian company APS Engineering. [7] The LNG trains will be built by two consortia including the consortium of Iranian Farab and Chinese HuaFu Engineering Company, and the consortium led by the Pars International Development & Engineering Company. [8] The liquefying equipment would be distributed by Steiner-Prematechnik-Gastec. [9] Storage tanks for LNG are built by Daelim Industrial. [10] Power plant and electro-compressor sections would be built by the Iran Power Plant Projects Management Co. [11] Iran's Rah Sahel will construct the jetty, and the off-site and utility segments will be handled by Iran's Petro Sanat Maad. [8]
The project is developed by the Iran LNG company, a subsidiary of the Iranian Gas exporting company (IGEC), which holds 49% of the shares, with the rest shared by the Oil Industry Investment Company (OIIC) (50%) and Oil Industry Pension Fund (1%). [8] The shares of the two later is planned to reduce to 11%, and the remained 40% will be provided to strategic partners. [12] The managing director of the company is Ali caiwanara. [10]
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas (predominantly methane, CH4, with some mixture of ethane, C2H6) that has been cooled down to liquid form for ease and safety of non-pressurized storage or transport. It takes up about 1/600th the volume of natural gas in the gaseous state at standard conditions for temperature and pressure.
The Sakhalin-2 project is an oil and gas development in Sakhalin Island, Russia. It includes development of the Piltun-Astokhskoye oil field and the Lunskoye natural gas field offshore Sakhalin Island in the Okhotsk Sea, and associated infrastructure onshore. The project is managed and operated by Sakhalin Energy Investment Company Ltd..

The National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) was established in 1965 as one of the four principal companies affiliated to the Ministry of Petroleum of the Islamic Republic of Iran with 25,000 million Rials initial capital.
The South Pars/North Dome field is a natural-gas condensate field located in the Persian Gulf. It is by far the world's largest natural gas field, with ownership of the field shared between Iran and Qatar. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the field holds an estimated 1,800 trillion cubic feet of in-situ natural gas and some 50 billion barrels of natural gas condensates. On the list of natural gas fields it has almost as much recoverable reserves as all the other fields combined. It has significant geostrategic influence.

Iran is an energy superpower and the petroleum industry in Iran plays an important part in it. In 2004, Iran produced 5.1 percent of the world's total crude oil, which generated revenues of US$25 billion to US$30 billion and was the country's primary source of foreign currency. At 2006 levels of production, oil proceeds represented about 18.7% of gross domestic product (GDP). However, the importance of the hydrocarbon sector to Iran's economy has been far greater. The oil and gas industry has been the engine of economic growth, directly affecting public development projects, the government's annual budget, and most foreign exchange sources.
A floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility is a floating production storage and offloading unit that conducts liquefied natural gas (LNG) operations for developing offshore natural gas resources. Floating above an offshore natural gas field, the FLNG facility produces liquefied stores and transfers LNG at sea before carriers ship it directly to markets.
