Iran is embarking on a US$70 billion investment programme of measures to attempt to halt a dramatic decline in output from its crucial South Pars gas field. A failure to do so will result in the loss of 40 percent of the country’s petrol output from the Persian Gulf Star gas condensate refinery, and the addition of up to US$12 billion a year of petrochemical costs, according to Iranian Gas Institute forecasts. “South Pars’ gas output provides nearly 80 percent of the our [Iran’s] total gas production, so it is vital to all segments of business and society that this does not drop significantly,” a senior energy industry source who works closely with Islamic Republic’s Petroleum Ministry exclusively told OilPrice.com last week.

The United States military and its many defense contractors are constantly working on designing, maintaining, and improving U.S. aircraft. Any fighter jet that flies for the military likely underwent numerous design iterations before approval — and after that, they're refitted and modernized to keep them in the fight for as long as possible. Of course, not every aircraft design that seems like a great idea at the time results in the finalization and production of the aircraft.
