Reza Pedemar – Head of the Energy and Environment Commission of the Iranian Chamber in Tehran: This capacity, as an opportunity for the development of the energy industry in Iran, can play a very important role in the economic development and job creation in the country.
Furthermore, other plans of Iran for the new year include the development of the electricity distribution network and the strengthening of energy transmission infrastructure in the country.
In addition, in the area of gas network development and strengthening of gas transportation infrastructure, plans will also be developed and then implemented.
As mentioned, the extraction and production of crude oil and natural gas remains one of Iran's most important export and revenue-generating sectors.
In the new year, Iran plans to expand its oil and gas exports in accordance with the main objectives and programs at its disposal and approved, and it tries to increase its export volume by expanding new markets and by developing its commercial relations with new countries.
Furthermore, in this process and taking into account its major approved projects in the field of energy, it plans to expand its oil and gas exploration and extraction activities in the new year.
To this end, programs have been envisaged for the development of existing oil and gas deposits as well as for the exploration of new deposits.
Furthermore, due to international sanctions and economic restrictions, Iran is seeking to comprehensively develop its petrochemical industry to exploit its rich oil and gas resources while creating more value addition for its exports.
However, for the development of the oil and gas industry, Iran seeks to increase cooperation with foreign companies.
The objective of the oil and gas industry development plans was to achieve greater productivity from existing resources, achieve national goals and sustainable economic growth, based on the approved guidelines and plans , crude oil production in Iran averages 5.6 million barrels. and natural gas at least 800 million cubic meters per day, which, due to the continued restrictions resulting from the embargo as well as other executive and operational problems, made it possible to maintain the level of crude oil production in the range of 5.2 million barrels per day. day, two thirds of which are intended for domestic use and less than a third has been issued.But regarding the quantity of gas production, Iran reached the peak of its production in the development plans and was able to increase the natural gas production capacity to more than one billion cubic meters, but in Due to executive and operational problems, the maximum amount of natural gas production is around 800 million meters. Keep the cube per day.
Furthermore, to achieve these goals, it is necessary to develop the infrastructure necessary for the use of energy resources internationally, including the construction of pipelines and the production and export processes of oil and gas.
In this context and in order to increase the production of these products, it has planned measures such as the exploitation of new reserves, the exploitation of advanced technologies and increased investments in the oil and gas industries.
On the other hand, Iran, with the aim of developing its energy industries and playing an important role in the region's energy markets, is trying to play an influential role in determining the price of oil in the global market within OPEC, as an organization that brings together the largest oil producers in the world.
If we correctly follow the development of gas fields, develop oil fields and obtain oil-related gases from these fields, if we focus more on the issue of optimizing domestic consumption, the future is bright , but by neglecting opportunities and capabilities, we present an unpleasant picture. of the future of hydrocarbon-based energies in Iran, while now renewable energies are waiting behind the doors to take the place of fossil energies, and a little delay in action and laxity will take away Iran the possibility of emerging from these potentials.
Let us note that one of the most important issues that we must insist on realizing as soon as possible is that of increasing the recovery rate of crude oil and increasing the pressure in the South Pars joint field.
It is possible to imagine the future of energy in Iran in such a way that we were able to make good use of the existing potentials and that when the world moves towards new energies, we will also be one of the main players of this period. , or with enormous wealth in Let's protect God's soil and depend on other countries for energy supplies.
What is missing today to achieve a privileged position in the field of energy is the national decision and will as well as a voice for the present and the future of the privileged position in the field of energy. 'Energy.
More emphasis should be placed on the development and management of energy consumption with correct management policies and only national interests should form the basis of policies.
