cubic feet of gas.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1728\" data-end=\"1866\">According to an Iranian news agency, the newly discovered field is located in Fars province and contains substantial natural gas reserves.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1868\" data-end=\"1989\">Iranian Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad said around 5.7 trillion cubic feet of gas from the field is considered recoverable.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1991\" data-end=\"2190\">According to the minister, the recoverable reserves are equivalent to nearly 15 years of production from one phase of Iran&#8217;s massive South Pars gas field, highlighting the scale of the new discovery.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2192\" data-end=\"2316\">Paknejad said the newly discovered reserves contain sweet gas, which is expected to reduce development and production costs.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2318\" data-end=\"2471\">Sweet gas generally contains lower levels of sulphur and other impurities, making it easier and potentially less expensive to process for commercial use.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2473\" data-end=\"2581\">The Iranian oil minister also said significant gas condensate reserves had been identified at the new field.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2583\" data-end=\"2708\">According to Paknejad, the condensate reserves could potentially generate billions of dollars in additional revenue for Iran.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2710\" data-end=\"2839\">The discovery could further expand Iran&#8217;s natural gas reserves and contribute to the country&#8217;s future energy production capacity.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2841\"
