The CEO of Iran Gas Engineering and Development Company has stressed the key role MAPNA Group is playing in advancing Iran’s gas storage capabilities through innovative and pioneering projects.
Reza Noshadi, CEO of Iran Gas Engineering and Development Company, visited MAPNA Group’s facilities on Tuesday, November 12, 2024, to evaluate the progress of joint projects.
Accompanied by Mohammad Owliya, President of MAPNA Group, and senior executives, Noshadi expressed his admiration for the advancements made by MAPNA’s skilled engineers.
“There is an extraordinary enthusiasm, dedication, and hope within MAPNA, which inspires and energizes everyone,” Noshadi remarked during the visit.
He praised MAPNA’s leadership for their bold decision to undertake the design and production of high-pressure turbo compressors for underground gas injection, a pioneering initiative in Iran.
“This courageous step has eliminated the final technological bottleneck in advancing gas storage projects,” Noshadi stated.
“With this achievement, the last technological limitation in gas storage projects has been resolved through localization. Such an innovative spirit has brought a significant technological breakthrough to the gas industry, which will undoubtedly benefit other sectors as well,” he added
Highlighting the importance of gas storage for the country’s energy strategy, Noshadi noted, “Under the Seventh Development Plan, the responsibility for managing natural gas storage has been entrusted to the National Iranian Gas Company.”
Emphasizing timely commitments, Noshadi also stressed the importance of MAPNA Group’s role in meeting deadlines. “The timely supply of necessary equipment is crucial for launching gas pressure boosting and natural gas storage station projects according to the schedule,” he stated.
The 100 Turbo Compressor Project, commissioned by the Iranian Gas Engineering and Development Company (IGEDC), is a strategic initiative to enhance Iran’s natural gas transmission network. Launched in 2007 under a contract with the Ministry of Petroleum, the project involves the design, supply, manufacturing, and installation of 100 turbocompressor units along the Iran Gas Trunkline (IGAT). Led by MAPNA Group, the project showcases Iran’s localization progress in energy infrastructure. Key contributors include Neyr Perse, managing execution; TUGA, handling turbine manufacturing; and MECO, providing electrical and control systems. Energy Industries Engineering & Design (EIED) serves as the consultant.
