Ali Jadi, second vice chairman of the Islamic Council's Industries and Mining Commission, said in a conversation on the development of oil and gas fields: "There are large petrochemical companies in the country and the sector private sector has entered into this field to develop and extract gas, and in fact a consortium has entered into this field.
He continues: Even the private sector has taken steps to create gas storage tanks to be able to supply the gas they need in winter.
The second deputy chairman of the Parliament's Committee on Industries and Mines said that the capacity of the private sector can be used to develop oil and gas fields and said: When private sector capital enters this field, we will see an increase in production and productivity in oil and gas reservoirs.
The Shirvan People's Representative in Parliament said: Private sector investors can participate in the development of oil and gas fields in the form of a consortium, assist the government and share the profits from exploitation and development.
Stressing that it is possible for the private sector to enter and exploit oil and gas fields, Jadi said: The petrochemical and private sector have started working and this issue can be resolved.
The importance of this becomes clear when one realizes that the government's capacity to invest in this area is limited. With the help of the private sector, we will definitely witness better events in the field of exploitation, development, extraction and export of these petroleum products.
A member of the Industries and Mines Committee of Parliament said: In Article 15 of the Seventh Plan, it is approved that the private sector will enter into the development of oil and gas fields alongside the National Oil Company.

This representative of the 11th Parliament explained: The government can rely on this capacity and accelerate the development of oil and gas fields.
The second vice-chairman of the Industries and Mining Committee of Parliament said: Private sector entry can certainly be effective in the energy imbalance, we currently have an imbalance in the gas and electricity sector, and by entering this sector we will see the possibility of increasing production and resolving the imbalance.
