“Providing equipment for self-sufficiency in producing and then exporting petrol is underway,” said executive director of Iranian National Refining and Distribution Company, Abbas Kazemi adding that“handling parts of the plans is completed and we are hoping for reaching to the self-sufficiency by the early next year.”
“We are producing 400 thousand barrels of petroleum products per day that will reach to 600 thousand barrels per day through next 10 months,” he continued. “The development of gas network caused rise of exporting petroleum products.”
“Petroleum products such as oil and gas are exporting to countries including Iraq, Afghanistan, China and India,” ISNA quoted Kazemi as saying.
