TEHRAN – The CEO of Iranian Gas Engineering and Development Company Reza Noshadi and the Vice President of Venezuela Oil Company in gas affairs Juan Santana have met and discussed cooperation in the field of gas and equipment supply.
In the meeting, Noshadi said that there are very good relations between the two countries and emphasized the need to operationalize the data-x-items agreed upon in the previous negotiations.
“Iranian companies manufacture the most complex equipment with the best quality and according to the latest international standards,” he said.
Relying on these potentialities, 10 gas pressure boosting stations and 7 storage plans are being implemented at the same time, which is a unique record, he added.
The Iranian official further said, “This company, by relying on its brilliant background, is regarded as the largest developer of gas projects in the world, and is capable of implementing operational plans abroad and is interested in designing and supplying goods and implementing overseas projects in line with the latest standards.”
Juan Santana, Vice President of Venezuela Oil Company for gas affairs, also expressed his satisfaction with his trip to Tehran and announced his country’s plan to open a joint cooperation office in Iran.
“Venezuela is interested in exploiting Iran’s experiences in LNG production projects, gas liquefaction, construction of gas pressure boosting facilities, gas refineries and pipelines,” he said.
