Centralized Tank Farm Assaluyeh Phase II

The Centralized Tank Farm Assaluyeh Phase II is a major midstream infrastructure project located in Iran’s South Pars Special Economic Energy Zone. This expansion project significantly increases storage capacity for condensate and refined products from nearby refineries and petrochemical plants. Phase II adds 2.5 million cubic meters of storage capacity, enhancing Iran’s ability to manage production fluctuations and optimize export logistics.
