Addressing the strategic cooperation session between Iran and Russia
in the fields of oil, gas, science, and technology at the Russian National Oil
and Gas Congress, Shahmirzaei highlighted Iran's significant position in the
global energy landscape, owing to its extensive reserves of oil and gas.
"Iran serves as a stable and secure harbor in the region,"
Shahmirzaei asserted, pointing out the country's long coastline stretching from
the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean, facilitating the transit of oil, gas,
liquefied gas, various petrochemical products, and other commodities.
With Iran's prowess in technical and engineering services being
globally recognized, Shahmirzaei emphasized the country's readiness to collaborate
on the production and sale of goods and equipment to companies and customers
worldwide.
"In the refining sector, we benefit from 11 small and large
refineries, and our daily gas production exceeds one billion and one hundred
million cubic meters," Shahmirzaei added.
Referring to the rapid development trend in Iran's petrochemical
industry, Shahmirzaei noted that its production capacity surpassed 95 million
tons last year and is set to exceed 100 million tons by the end of this year.
