He made the remarks in a meeting with the oil and gas contractors of Pars Special Economic and Energy Zone (PSEEZ).
Iran has prioritized a rapid increase in gas production from South Pars gas fields to provide the internal needs as well as the growth of outside demands, Jahangiri added.
He underlined that many countries have requested to purchase gas from Iran and the outside demand for Iran’s gas is rising.
Iran is keen to add 100 mln c/m to its current level of gas production by the end of the Iranian year (started on March 21, 2014), the first vice-president said.
