Raisi, as part of the continued process of monitoring
executive entities, arrived at the Ministry of Petroleum's central building
today to engage with its managerial cadre. This visit entailed a thorough
review of the institution's performance report, during which significant
directives and suggestions were provided to enhance both the qualitative and
quantitative aspects of the ministry's operations.
The President had previously attended the Ministry on the
5th of Aban, 1400, to assess the operational status of fuel distribution
stations nationwide and address disruptions within the intelligent fuel system,
underscoring the significance of these investigations at the Ministry of
Petroleum.
In a parallel effort, Raisi had actively participated in a
meeting at the National Iranian Gas Company's Dispatching Management Center in
Dey Month of the previous year, contributing to the Winter Fuel Supply Task
Force.
Earlier this year, following a statement comprising five key
points sent by Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the Parliament Speaker, conveying
appreciation from 220 representatives for the Ministry's actions, Raisi
expressed gratitude in a letter, acknowledging the Ministry's achievements and
services.
The five highlighted areas of acknowledgment included:
- Achievement
of crude oil and petroleum byproduct export targets set in the 1401 budget
law.
- Commencement
of Phase Two of the Abadan Petro-refinery in accordance with directives
from the Supreme Leader's office.
- Ensuring
stable supply of the country's liquefied gas during the 1401 winter
season, preventing household gas disruptions and power plant shutdowns.
- Adequate
gasoline supply in the past year and during high traffic periods,
maintaining order at fuel stations.
- Commencement
and operation of Phase 14 of the South Pars gas field and implementation
of NGPL projects, reducing gas losses and gas flaring in line with
directives from the Supreme Leader's office.
Simultaneously, 226 members of the Islamic Consultative
Assembly had expressed appreciation on the 28th of Ordibehesht last year for
the efforts of Minister of Petroleum Javad Owji and the oil industry personnel.
This continued engagement of President Raisi with the
Ministry of Petroleum signifies an ongoing commitment to ensuring effective and
efficient governance across vital sectors of the Iranian economy.
