National Iranian Gas Company head Saeid Tavakoli acknowledged difficulties after recent incidents at South Pars.
He says gas met 85% of power plants’ fuel needs, down from 86%, and steel and petrochemicals faced no restrictions.
He also reports deliveries to industry and small businesses were 1 billion cubic meters higher than last year.
Tavakoli gave no South Pars output figure, and no outside party has verified his numbers.
