These gases were treated in NGL plants in which gas liquids were recovered. The last of these plants, the 'Karanj NGL 1500', was inaugurated in September 1999. Nevertheless some 30% of southern Iran's associated gases --- inclusive of both onshore and offshore gases --- are still being flared. Plans are on hand to reduce flaring to around 10% by the year 2004. There are a number of alternatives for gradually reducing flaring in southern Iran. Offshore gas exports to gas-poor neighbours seems feasible, whereas for onshore gases re-injection into oilfields has the edge over general gathering schemes. One of the major undertakings being presently considered is the "AMAK" project --- calling for the gathering and sweetening of some 6 million cubic meter per day of sour gases from five oil fields: Ab-Taymour, Mansouri, Marun, Ahwaz and Kupal. Capital investment for this project is estimated at around $ 255 million and due to its yield of 17,000 b/d of natural gas liquids, it seems to be an excellent proposition with an ROI of above 50% assuming 4Q-1999 crude oil prices.
