Two 32 inch pipelines with a capacity of 1 billion standard cubic feet per day.
The pipelines will transport the unprocessed offshore hydrocarbon production from each wellhead platform to the onshore gas treatment plant.
Part III) Onshore Facilities.
One gas treatment plant in Assaluyeh with capacity for 2 billion standard cubic feet per day, with its processing units, utilities production and distribution, general facilities and necessary buildings.
