Iran is an energy superpower

At 2006 levels of production, oil proceeds represented about 18.7

percent of gross domestic product (GDP)

The oil and gas industry has been the engine of economic growth,

directly affecting public development projects, the government’s

annual budget, and most foreign exchange sources.

In FY 2009, the sector accounted for 60 percent of total

government revenues and 80 percent of the total annual value of

both exports and foreign currency earnings


In 2012, Iran, which exports around 1.5 million barrels of crude oil

a day, was the second-largest exporter among the Organization of

Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)

Iran's annual oil and gas revenues could reach $250 billion by 2015

Iran plans to invest a total of $500 billion in the oil sector before

2025

Iran’s Natural gas 32.3 trillion cubic meters of proven natural gas

reserves in 2006

Natural gas production will reach 700 million cubic meter/day by

2012 and 900 million cubic meter/day by 2015


Iran set a goal of increasing its natural gas production capacity to

300 billion cubic meters by 2015

Following the discovery of a large gas deposit in the Caspian sea

(The Sardar Jangal gas field) in 2011 estimated at 50 trillion cubic feet

(some 1.4 trillion cubic meters), Iran could rank first in the world

in terms of gas reserves



The National Petrochemical Company

(NPC) Founded in 1964, NPC began its

activities by operating a small fertilizer plant in

Shiraz, Iran petrochemical industry dates back

to 1963. The first petrochemical complex to

produce fertilizer kicked off then.

Today, NPC is the second largest producer and exporter of

petrochemicals in the Middle East.

Petrochemicals, Output capacity in 2006 was estimated at 15

million tons, and more than 40 mil tone in 2010 and plan to reach

100 mil tone by 2015.

Product Domestic sale - Quantity/Value (2003)

Exports - Quantity/Value

(2003)

Chemicals 749 thousand tons/ $232 million

804 thousand tons/ $217 million

Fertilizers 896 thousand tons/ $99 million


Polymers 105 thousand tons/ $76 million


Aromatics 335 thousand tons/ $172 million


Fuel & hydrocarbons



Total: 4544 thousand tons / $1225 million

4565 thousand tons / $1123 million

National Petrochemical Company (Quantity: thousand tons / Value: million USD)


Receiving 30 percent of Iran’s petrochemical exports between

China and India were the major trading partners in this industry.

Iran’s petrochemical industries have absorbed a large amount of

private and public investment In the early 2000s, 43 percent of

these investments was financed by NPC.

Another 53 percent is owned by foreign creditors (more than 100

foreign banks and foreign companies), 3 percent by banks, and 1

percent by the capital market.



Three special economic zones on the northern coast of the Persian

Gulf have been developed to be home to the NPC’s new project.

These three zones enjoy :

• good access to feedstock,

• infrastructural facilities,

• local and international markets,

• skilled manpower,

• ports.
