Iran's Ambassador to Moscow told IRNA that organizing a workshop for Russian oil and gas companies was agreed in recent OPEC meeting in Algeria by the Iranian and Russian ministers of petroleum.

He said that following implementation of JCPOA and confirmation of new model of oil contracts by Majlis, the Russian oil and gas companies declared interest in willingness to take part in the workshop.

Three companies of Lukoil, Zarubezhneft and Tatneft have signed Memorandum of Understanding with National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) and other Russian oil and gas companies are negotiating for investment in Iran's oil and gas fields.
