Iran’s Petroleum Ministry is [developing a supergiant natural gas field](https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/The-Next-Natural-Gas-Superpower.html) on its border with Qatar.

Iran’s South Pars’ non-associated natural gas field is a lynchpin in the nation’s strategy to expand natural gas production to at least one billion cubic meters per day. South Pars already accounts for the majority if the country’s natural gas production and the Petroleum Ministry intends to scale up as quickly as possible.
