Sanctions management strategy changed under the 13th government

Changes in the governance of the oil industry in the 13th government
This researcher pointed out: Another change in the governance outlook of the oil industry is the dependence on national power.
The performance of the last two and a half years has shown that the Ministry of Oil is not waiting for Western, Russian and Chinese companies to implement projects and, while trying to attract foreign investment, it is moving the work forward by calling on Iranian companies.
Hosseini said: For example, in March 1402, a total of $33 billion in contracts were signed with Iranian companies to increase pressure on South Pars and develop 6 oil fields, including the Azadegan joint oil field.
He continued: Relying on domestic capabilities does not at all mean neglecting the attraction of foreign investments, and the 13th government, during the same eight-year period of the previous government, managed to attract more credible investments and, according to statistics. of the Ministry of the Economy, the oil industry is the main target of this investment.
