EghtesadOnline: Major overhaul operations in phases 17 and 18 of the giant South Pars Gas Field in the Persian Gulf has increased the output of liquefied petroleum gas, including propane and butane, as feedstock for petrochemical complexes, the head of the complex's seventh refinery said.

EghtesadOnline: Liquefied petroleum gas shipments from Iran made a strong start to the year, rebounding to 520,000 metric tons, an equivalent of 444,000 barrels, in January, the highest since international sanctions for its nuclear program were lifted in January 2016.
