80% of oil revenues are received in cash / Completion of 40 $ 13 billion projects by the end of this year
According to Fars News Agency’s economic correspondent, Minister of Oil Javad Oji last night in the “First Line” program of the news network, referring to the 26th International Exhibition of Oil, Gas, Refining and Petrochemical, said: “In this exhibition, special attention has been paid to knowledge-based companies.” Was. Last year, we called for the use of the capacity of knowledge-based companies upstream and downstream of the oil industry, and a memorandum of understanding and good contracts were signed on the sidelines of the fair.
He added: “Knowledge-based companies have acceptable capabilities in the field of fuel consumption optimization, rehabilitation of low-efficiency wells and construction inside oil equipment.” At present, 70% of the equipment and goods required by the oil industry are localized and we import 30% of the goods.
* Export of Iranian catalysts to European countries
“At the oil fair, we announced the needs of the oil industry, and knowledge-based companies also demonstrated their capabilities,” Oji said. In the next step, we will export the technical and engineering services of these companies. In the field of rotating machines, the needs of the industry are now being met by insiders.
“In addition to rotating machines, we have also exported petrochemical products and catalysts,” he said. 70% of the catalysts are localized in the country and we have even exported to Europe.
* We have received 80% of oil revenues in cash
The Minister of Oil emphasized: All oil revenues have been received on the specified date. We have received 80% of our oil revenues in cash, and the rest has been purged of medicine and basic goods.
Oji said: “We have identified new markets and new customers for the sale of Iranian oil, to which oil exports have solved the country’s problems in terms of providing foreign exchange resources in the Nima system.” Last year, $ 12.5 billion in petrochemical currency was deposited in the Nima system. Also, the collection of gas export revenues has quadrupled compared to 1999.
The Minister of Oil said: in 1999, foreign exchange earnings from gas exports were $ 1.25 billion, which in 1400 increased to more than $ 4 billion.
He stressed that the increase in oil exports was a great help in the supply of basic goods, including grain. Today there are very good reserves in the country. Also, the increase in oil exports has controlled the exchange rate to some extent well.
* The government has no plans to increase the price of gasoline
“The government has no plans to increase gasoline prices this year,” Oji said.
The Minister of Oil added: in order to reduce fuel consumption, a contract has been signed with contractors and private workshops to double-burn public vehicles and vans for free. It costs 11 million tomans to double-burn each car.
Oji said: “We have also signed a contract with Iran Khodro Company for the production of dual-fuel car factories.”
* In the next five years, one million barrels will be added to the country’s refining capacity
He added: “In previous years, no special investment was made to increase the country’s refining capacity, but in the current government, the Ministry of Oil itself is in charge of building a 300,000-barrel oil refinery next to the Persian Gulf Star refinery, which was also approved in the budget law.”
Oji said: “Also, 8 selected petro-refining projects have been planned in advance, and in the current government, we have solved the issues related to the agreement in principle, food permits and feed respiration.” We have also put on the agenda the increase of the quantitative and qualitative capacity of the current refineries.
He added: “By the end of this year, a small 60,000 barrel petroleum refinery will be put into operation.” In the next five years, the country’s refining capacity will increase by more than one million barrels.
* 40 semi-finished projects worth $ 13 billion will be completed by the end of this year
“Last year, we signed more than $ 16.5 billion in 55 memoranda of understanding and contracts,” Oji said. This year, 40 semi-finished and semi-finished projects with an investment volume of $ 13 billion will be completed and put into operation.
The Minister of Oil said: “Also, 22 large and priority projects of the oil industry with an investment of more than 13 billion dollars have been started this year and will be implemented, including projects to increase oil and gas production capacity and petroleum refinery projects.”
* By the end of the thirteenth government, the case of burning burner gas will be closed
He added: A comprehensive study and seismic operation has been carried out in Arash joint field. The installation of the first platform for drilling wells is on the agenda, and the development of this field will begin soon.
“Our priority is to develop joint squares with a focus on the large squares west of Karun,” Oji said. The West and East Karun torch gas collection will also be implemented through 38 contracts worth $ 1 billion.
The Minister of Oil added: “Petrochemical companies are investing in the project of collecting burner gases, and by the end of the 13th government, the case of burner gases will be completely closed.”
* Commitment of 29 thousand billion Tomans of the Ministry of Oil to provide a free baton vacuum
He emphasized: all petroleum products are offered in the stock market. Last year, 15,000 billion tomans were assigned to the Ministry of Oil to provide the Ministry of Roads with vacuum baton from oil refineries with refining companies.
“In the first months of the 13th government, we issued all the vacuum-remittance remittances,” Oji said. This year, the Ministry of Oil has been obliged to provide a vacuum cleaner of 19,000 billion tomans, and 10,000 billion tomans remain from the government’s commitments last year. Surveillance devices should not be allowed to corrupt this process.
* The price of domestic gas becomes non-subsidized for high-consumption subscribers
The Minister of Oil added: “From 1996 to December last year, there was no increase in the price of domestic gas.” In the thirteenth government, the price of domestic gas for high-consumption subscribers was reformed.
He emphasized: Of course, the first three steps of consumption, which included 75% of domestic gas subscribers and 50% of the total domestic gas consumption, did not have any price increase.
Oji continued: in the budget law 1401, it has been approved that the price of domestic gas should be non-subsidized for high-consumption subscribers. In the next one or two months, the bylaws of this law will be approved by the cabinet.
The Minister of Oil emphasized: “Also, the completion of the South Pars phases is another program of the Ministry of Oil. By the end of this year, 40 million cubic meters of gas per day will be added to the country’s production capacity.”
* Iranian oil consumption in the country’s offshore refineries
He stated: In identifying new customers of Iranian oil, part of our view was the Latin American market. It accounts for 20 percent of the world’s oil reserves, and Venezuela alone has the world’s largest oil fields and refineries.
“In the first step in the 13th government, we started exporting oil, gas condensate and petrochemicals to Latin America,” Oji said. At the beginning of the government, 78 million barrels of gas condensate were stored on water and on land, part of which was exported in interaction with Latin American countries, and its revenue was refined by grains such as corn and oil.
“One of our plans was to have offshore refineries,” he said. Some refineries in Latin America operate at nominal capacity, and their refurbishment and repairs could turn these refineries into places for Iranian oil exports and consumption.
“Currently, 650,000 households under the relief committee and the welfare organization use free gas,” he said.
“Last year, the Ministry of Oil, equivalent to the entire government, changed the status of the martyrs, and we fulfilled our obligations in the 1400 budget,” Oji concluded.
