Signing 50 contracts worth $ 16 billion in 7 months of the 13th government
According to the economic correspondent of Fars News Agency, at present, almost 7 months have passed since the activity of the cabinet of the 13th government, and it seems that as the end of 1400 approaches, it is a good time to pay and summarize. Function Ministries should be in this period.
In the meantime, considering the importance of Iran’s oil industry as the largest holder of hydrocarbon resources in the development of the country, it is important to review the performance of the Ministry of Oil of the 13th government.
What is clear is that the Ministry of Oil in the past 7 months with many problems in the field of winter fuel supply, hacking attack on the fuel system, oil exports and foreign exchange earnings, optimizing fuel consumption, getting rid of crude oil sales, attracting investment in the oil industry and There have been issues related to human resources that can not be solved in a short time.
However, it is necessary for the Ministry of Oil to formulate and present its plan for each sector and take appropriate steps forward. In this regard, to examine the axes raised with Javad Oji, Minister of Oil of the 13th government We talked to ask questions about the ministry’s future performance and plans.
The first and second part of this interview entitled “The oil minister’s unspoken words about Iran’s winter fuel / gas condensate exports quadrupled” And “Details of oil revenues in the 13th government / hacker attack on the fuel system was carried out by infiltrators” It’s been published.
The details of the third part of this interview are as follows:
* Two programs of the Ministry of Oil to support the knowledge base
Fars: Last month, the Supreme Leader of the Revolution emphasized on establishing knowledge in the oil industry and strengthening domestic production. What is the plan of the Ministry of Oil in this regard?
Oji: We considered two paths to meet the needs of the oil industry. The Ministry of Petroleum announced a call in line with paragraph A of Note 18 of Budget Law 1400. In this call, 240 companies from among knowledge-based companies and companies that participated in the field of fuel consumption optimization, rehabilitation of low-efficiency wells, burner gas collection, petrochemical complementary industries chain, digital transformation and equipment manufacturing for the first time.
These companies are being evaluated and correspondence will be made with the provincial planning organization, and I think that in the second half of May 1401, the capabilities of these companies will be counted. According to this law, facilities with 12% interest and other services will be provided to knowledge-based companies.
Apart from this, we examined what the oil industry needs in terms of goods, tools, equipment, machinery and technical knowledge and catalysts. We announced these needs in a system in the Vice President for Research and Technology and 4 main companies.
Any company that owns technology can refer to our system and our friends will start concluding contracts with these companies after evaluation. In this mechanism, a number of points are considered, apart from Note 18. God willing, we will be able to use the power of companies with knowledge and technology and fulfill the orders of the Supreme Leader.
The issue of low-efficiency wells is also one of the important issues that is being pursued. More than 600-700 wells in the country with a technological work of knowledge-based companies can return to the production circuit or increase their production.
* Car gas burning and engine room optimization is done for free
Fars: What measures do you have on the agenda in the field of consumption optimization?
Oji: Measures have also been taken to optimize liquid and gas fuel consumption. Gasification of public vehicles is the largest fuel optimization project underway. CNG burning each car costs about 12 million tomans for the Ministry of Oil, but we do it for free for the people.
Also, free optimization of motorhomes of residential and commercial complexes is another program that people can register by visiting the website of the National Gas Company and benefit from the services of this company. Culture-building and price reform were other measures that were taken.
* 3-month opportunity for the Ministry of Oil to develop 8 selected petro-refining projects
Fars: Crude oil sales are one of the Achilles heel of the country. What is the plan of the Ministry of Oil to get rid of crude oil sales?
Oji: The law “Supporting the development of downstream oil and gas condensate industries” is one of the good capacities for development Petro Refinery ها است. So far, 12 contracts have been concluded in this field and we have held 2-3 meetings with the CEOs of selected projects.
In these meetings, the needs and problems of these projects were examined. Fortunately, we amended the regulations on food respiration in the 13th government and on food Propane And butane also considered feed respiration.
The original design was to be completed after construction Petro RefineryFeed respiration is assigned to them, but according to the new regulations, projects are divided into three phases, and each phase that is put into operation can receive feed respiration.
The share of feed respiration of these units was assigned to the board of trustees of the fund, and the problems related to land preparation and feed supply were also resolved. In the meetings we had with the owners of the 8 selected projects, more than 80-90% of their problems were solved.
Apart from this law, the Ministry of Oil itself intends to build one according to the budget law 1401 Petro Refinery 300,000 barrels in the name of Martyr Qassem Soleimani. I promise that in April 1401, we will start the contract and executive work of this refinery.
Fars: Has a feed breathing permit been issued for the projects? Because until it is issued, the project owners will remain hesitant.
Oji: There is no problem with that. You should have attended the meetings and seen how in the first meeting the owners of these projects criticized me for not supporting the Ministry of Oil.
Now, after holding a few sessions and resolving their problems, I served in the previous session CEOs 8 selected projects I said that in the next meeting, which will be held in 3 months, I should not see these small improvements and you should move the work forward quickly. At that time, if there are any reactions from the Ministry of Oil, do not complain to us anymore.
Fars: That is, it is possible to revoke the permit to breathe the feed of weak designs?
Oji: God willing, we hope that the work will not be dragged here. With the changes we have made in the bylaws, construction Petro Refinery It has become very sweet and attractive, and both hands have stuck their licenses so that it does not get out of their hands.
* Concluding 50 contracts and memoranda worth $ 16 billion in the 13th government
Fars: One of the challenges of the Ministry of Oil in recent years has been to attract capital in this industry. What is the solution and plan of you and the current team to solve this big problem?
Oji: Why is the oil industry in so much trouble? The answer is simple, because in these few years, no investment has been made in it.
From the first day, I have repeatedly stated that the Ministry of Oil will not wait for the suspension of the Vienna talks and will use any internal and external capacity in this area. There are several ways to invest: 1- Resources of the Ministry of Oil 2- Banking facilities 3- Using the financial resources of petrochemical, refinery and steel holdings and consortium them and 4- Resources of foreign companies.
During the life of the 13th government, more than $ 16 billion worth of contracts and memoranda of understanding have been signed to invest in 50 projects in the oil industry. Part of these contracts and agreements are related to the development of oil and gas fields, and the other part is related to increasing and maintaining production.
Another is petroleum product pipelines, which can save us from refueling tankers. Some other projects are related to gas supply and gas transmission lines and natural gas storage. Others are related to refining quality, including the Bandar Abbas refinery contract, and the refinery’s furnace oil chain will become coke. Contracting for catalyst localization and technical knowledge for petrochemicals are other projects.
All these projects are important and priority, for example, this project of Pars oil product pipeline is important because you do not have any fuel pipeline in Fars province and this fuel is always transported by tanker, which is both costly and accident-prone.
Fars: Has any special action been taken regarding the West Karun squares and has it been finalized?
Oji: Yes, we have good agreements between Yadavaran Square, Azadegan North, Central and South and Yaran North and South.
* So far, we have signed 28 contracts for the collection of mobile gas
Fars: What is the plan of the Ministry of Oil in the field of mobile gas collection?
Oji: You heard that now every cubic meter of natural gas (methane) has reached 400 cents. While gas is associated with a rich gas, it means not only methane but also more valuable products Propane And butane, pentane, hexane, and so on.
Now burn and wasted These associated gases pollute the air, and refineries such as the Bidboland Persian Gulf Gas Refinery or some NGLs operate below capacity.
Therefore, to solve this problem, we concluded 28 gas collection contracts with the powerful holdings of the country within 6 months. We promise that by the end of the government, the burner case will be completely closed.
God willing, the feed restrictions of petrochemicals in winter will be lifted by carrying out these projects. In fact, in this process, the smoke becomes value added.
* Iran plan-LNG It will be completed by the end of the thirteenth government
Another issue is the Iran-LNG project. You are aware that Iran does not have LNG technology. God willing, with the planning of the Ministry of Oil and the ability of domestic companies, we will definitely determine the task of this project in this government and we will not allow the investment made in this project to be canceled.
We are both organizing the power plant of this project and completing its reservoirs, and we are negotiating with Iranian and foreign companies for LNG desalination units.
* 4 key actions to organize the human resources situation of the oil industry
Fars: Mr. Oji, if you agree, let us end this interview by addressing the important issue of human resources. Oil industry workers are professionals who work hardMost Conditions are working but they are complaining about their rights and benefits. Of course, it is not expected that the current Ministry of Oil will solve all the problems within 6 months, but it is necessary to take steps forward. What actions are you on the agenda in this area?
Oji: I am a servant of the oil industry family and from belowMost I have started my own work levels and I understand the difficulties of working in the oil industry very well. In the last few years, there has been a real lack of care and compassion for the workers in the oil industry, and my dear colleagues have been neglected.
With the beginning of the thirteenth government, good measures have been taken for the human resources sector and the organization of contract and contracting forces, as well as the recruitment of personnel.
Reviving 10,000 organizational positions was a big deal, and soon 17-17,000 contract and contract veterans will be formally recruited, and this has been announced. Of course, God willing, this number will reach 22-23 thousand troops. For several years, there was no recruitment in the Ministry of Oil, and 10,000 positions had just been lost.
We have also created a new opportunity for the elites of the University of Petroleum Industry that, in my opinion, we have been able to create a relative satisfaction. Of course, our work should definitely be more than this, because the capital of this industry is its manpower, and God willing, in 1401, the living conditions of the manpower working in the oil industry will improve.
At each meeting, I strongly advise the managers to monitor the situation of manpower in the contracts and to review the work description of the contracting contracts.
Special attention has also been paid to the “Oil Industry Health Organization”. Inshallah, the development and maintenance of all medical centers in the oil industry will also be on the agenda. We even include the head of the Health Organization in the Council of Deputies.
Fars: Thank you Bob for providing.
