SOUTH PARS GAS DOUBLED
REUTERS - Iran has nearly doubled gas production at South Pars, the world's largest gas field, in the past year, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said Sunday, according to state media.
Gas production at South Pars increased from 285 million cubic meters to 555 million cubic meters in the past Iranian calendar year, which started in late March 2017, Rouhani said, according to state media.
"We did not have the need to purchase gas from any country this year for them to try to be fickle or raise prices," Rouhani said.
Total signed a deal with Tehran last July to develop phase 11 of Iran's South Pars field with an initial investment of $1 billion. It was the first major Western energy investment in the Islamic Republic since sanctions related to Iran's nuclear-power program were lifted.
Total will be the operator with a 50.1 percent stake, alongside Chinese state-owned oil and gas company CNPC with 30 percent and National Iranian Oil Co subsidiary Petropars with 19.9 percent.
Separately, Iran's minister of industry, mine and trade, Mohammad Shariatmadari, said Sunday that the Islamic Republic has received 1.9 billion dollars in foreign investment since Rouhani began his second presidential term last August, according to state media.

U.S. - IRAN SANCTIONSU.S.DT - "These sanctions target key entities involved in Iran's ballistic missile program, which the Iranian regime prioritizes over the economic well-being of the Iranian people. As the Iranian people suffer, their government and the IRGC fund foreign militants, terrorist groups, and human rights abuses," said Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin. "The United States will continue to decisively counter the Iranian regime's malign activity, including additional sanctions targeting human rights abuses. We will not hesitate to call out the regime's economic mismanagement, and diversion of significant resources to fund threatening missile systems at the expense of its citizenry."
