Shurijeh Gas Storage Development Project

The Shurijeh-D reservoir, located in the northeastern part of Iran near Sarakhs city, is part of the Khangiran Gas field. In 2009, it was designated as an underground gas storage (UGS) facility. Phase-I of the Shurijeh UGS plant, completed in 2014, established the necessary infrastructure for gas injection and withdrawal. Phase-I operations confirmed the reservoir’s capacity for additional gas storage.
