Iran Press/Iran news: Ali Jafarzadeh said on Thursday that for the first time in Iran's oil industry, 42-inch gate valves compatible with sour fluid were made by knowledge-based companies and with the support of the Oil Engineering and Development Company inside the country.
Noting that the technology of gate valves resisting the corrosion of sour fluids with the NACE standard is monopolized by a few countries, Jafarzadeh said the valves have already been developed for use in the Gore-Jask crude oil pipeline, and Iran is one of the countries with the technology.
The Gore-Jask oil pipeline project, with a distance of about 1,000 kilometres, is the largest pipeline project in the Middle East.
With the implementation of the plan, it will be possible to transfer one million barrels of heavy crude oil per day from Gore area to Jask in Hormozgan province, and huge ships with a capacity of loading 2 million tons of crude oil and storing 10 million barrels can berth there.
