Abstract
Study and modeling for appropriate planning and policy-making in the energy sector to ensure energy security (security of supply for consumers of crude oil and natural gas;security of demand for exporting economic enterprises) and consequently ensuring maximum intergenerational benefits is of great importance. Iran is a producer and exporter of oil and gas; and in such countries, the economy generally relies on oil and gas revenues. Naturally, it is necessary to maximize the profit from oil and gas revenues through planning for optimal production from oil and gas fields as a necessity. In this study, prioritizing the optimal solutions for allocating natural gas to various sectors including construction, industry (petrochemicals), transportation (in the form of compressed natural gas), power generation, export, injection into oil wells to increase recovery, relying on modeling the production chain, supply, natural gas injection in the oil field, and the added value from the injection, has been investigated by LEAP software, taking into account real and operational constraints, taking into account the South Pars gas source
