In time with the implementation of new South Pars phases and the surge in Iran’s gas condensate production capacity, Hyundai Chemical Company has recommenced purchase of the Iranian product.
Accordingly, the South Korean firm had imported two shipments of Iranian gas condensate in in order to begin pilot operation of a new refining unit.
The two cargos with a total volume of 1.1 million barrels were bought in June and August, 2016.
