TEHRAN - The CEO of the
National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company (NIORDC) Jalil Salari has announced the export of three shipments of Iranian diesel to Asian countries last month.
Salari said that capacities have been created regarding export of petroleum products, but our focus is on meeting domestic needs and secure storage, especially in the cold seasons of the year.
Emphasizing the need to develop infrastructure for export of petroleum products in Iran, he said: “This month and since the end of last month, three oil and gas ships have transported the production of domestic refineries to Asian countries.”
The Deputy Minister of Petroleum for Refining and Distribution Affairs emphasized: “According to the forecasts for the increase in fuel prices, our interests and focus are on the issue of fuel storage in the current situation and postponing exports to the future.”
Speaking to reporters about the possibility of exporting the product to other countries, including the United States, if the sanctions are lifted, he said: “In this regard, we have already deployed a group to study crude oil processing in refineries in other countries, so we focus in export is sending crude oil to the consumer hubs instead of sending products to the consumer hubs.”
