  • Iran's Latest Export/Import Options
    Iran’s latest export/import options Relations between Iran and its neighbours are strengthening despite increased efforts by the US to isolate Tehran; both Turkmenistan and Azerbaijan have recently agreed to boost gas exports to the Islamic Republic. Iran cannot be ignored – its export potential for Europe is significant, both as the holder of the second largest gas reserves in the world and geographically as a strategic link between gas-rich Turkmenistan and Turkey. But development has been severely hindered as US companies have been banned from working in the country and international sanctions over nuclear proliferation concerns The oil and gas are becoming a weightier deterrent for European companies. Even so the Iranians do bureaucracy in manage to keep things going. Iran has a very deep-set mistrust Now, with the threat of harsher sanctions looming, Gas Matters looks at prospects for of the foreign the development of the Iranian gas industry and how progress, though faltering, may majors, established not be as bad as people think. following the painful experience The oil and gas bureaucracy in Iran has a very deep-set mistrust of the foreign majors, established of the 1951 coup, following the painful experience of the 1951 coup, the nationalisation of the industry and the the nationalisation of the industry and subsequent fight against the western oil companies in the pre-1979 period. There may now the subsequent fight potentially be a shift in attitudes as the people who worked during the 1970s are retired or against the western retiring. “But, as we’ve seen in Iraq, countries fall back to deeply-rooted attitudes towards the oil companies in the oil and gas sector so I wouldn’t expect any radical change whatever happens politically,” says pre-1979 period Pierre Noel, an energy policy specialist at Cambridge University’s Judge Business School.

  • Iran's Strategy for Export of Natural
    Iran’s Strategy for Export of Natural Gas Statement by: M.A. Sarmadi-Rad Director of Regional Economic Cooperation MFA of Islamic Republic of Iran WORKING PARTY ON GAS UN/ECE 15th SESSION JANUARY 2005 GENEVA In the Name of God, The Compassionate, the Merciful Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, First of all I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the organizers of this meeting for inviting me to make this presentation. It is indeed a pleasure for me to be here and share with you my point of view regarding Iran’s strategy for exporting natural gas. As for natural gas we all know that demand for natural gas has been growing much faster than the demand for other primary energy resources. It is also expected that the share of natural gas in the primary energy basket to increase rapidly. The growth rate of world demand for natural gas will average 3.1%. It is also no secret that European countries will be even more dependent on natural gas in the coming decades. Projected natural gas supply and demand for 2020 and 2030 reveal that European countries will have to find new sources of supply to satisfy their additional demand. Russia, currently the main supplier of natural gas to Europe, may not be able to meet this increasing demand. Because Russia, as is widely expected, will have to meet the growing demand for natural gas in FSU countries and in its domestic market. Iran, located strategically in the vicinity of Russia, the CIS countries and the Caucasus, as well as on the eastern border of Europe, has the potential to export large quantities of natural gas both to EU markets in the west and to the growing energy markets of South Asia and beyond.

  • Iran at a Glance  Background the First Iranian State Was the Persian Empire, Which Rose in the First Millennium BC and Was for Centuries the Largest in the World
    No. 102- 10th Floor, (No.50), 7th St., 'D\DUD\DQ Kohe-Nour Ave. Motahary St. TEHRAN, IRAN AUDITING & Post code:1587694911 FINANCIAL Tel: (+98 21) 8739071-2 SERVICES Fax: (+98 21) 8739056 E - mail: [email protected] Web: www.dayarayan.com Iran at a glance Background The first Iranian state was the Persian empire, which rose in the first millennium BC and was for centuries the largest in the world. It was conquered by Alexander the Great in 330 BC, and later overwhelmed by Arab Muslim conquerors in the 7th century AD Iran became part of the Abbasid caliphate and its culture was both Islamised and itself exerted an influence on the rest of Islam. The Persian language and a distinct Iranian culture survived, to be reasserted and reinvented by most of the region’s rulers. In the 10th and 11th centuries, the caliphs lost effective control of Iran to Persian and Turkish rulers, and in the 13th century the region was conquered by the Mongols, who themselves later converted to Islam. Mongol control diminished, and by the 16th century the Safavids, a powerful family from the north-west, emerged to unify Iran for the first time in the Islamic era under Ismail I. He proclaimed himself shah, and made Shia Islam Iran’s state religion. Iran was weakened by wars in the 17th and 18th centuries and new dynasties followed the Savafids, notably the Turkic Qajars. New rivals emerged in Russia—to whom Iran lost much of the Caucasus and central Asia in 19th-century wars—and Britain, which sought a buffer between expanding Russia and nearby India.

  • Firms Reported in Open Sources As Having Commercial Activity in Iran's
    United States Government Accountability Office Washington, DC 20548 March 23, 2010 The Honorable Joseph I. Lieberman Chairman Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs United States Senate The Honorable Jon Kyl Ranking Member Subcommittee on Terrorism and Homeland Security Committee on the Judiciary United States Senate Subject: Firms Reported in Open Sources as Having Commercial Activity in Iran’s Oil, Gas, and Petrochemical Sectors Iran’s oil and gas industry is vital to its economy and government. Oil export revenues have accounted for more than 24 percent of Iran’s gross domestic product and between 50 and 76 percent of the Iranian government’s revenues in recent years.1 Iran has the world’s third largest oil reserves and second largest gas reserves, according to the Congressional Research Service (CRS), and is the world’s fourth largest producer of crude oil, according to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) World Factbook.2 However, Iran has not reached peak crude oil production levels since 1978, does not produce sufficient natural gas for domestic use, and lacks the refining capacity to meet domestic demand for gasoline, according to the Department of Energy (DOE) and IHS Global Insight.3 IHS Global Insight reports that Iran’s priorities for the next five years are to (1) raise oil production and exports as much as possible, (2) increase natural gas production for domestic use, and (3) expand refining capacity if financially and technically possible. CRS reported that the Deputy Minister of the National Iranian Oil Company said in November 2008 that Iran would need about $145 billion in new investment over the next 10 years to build a thriving energy sector.

  • Iran Country Analysis Brief File:///V:/PRJ/Newcabs/V6/Iran/Full.Html
    Iran Country Analysis Brief file:///V:/PRJ/NewCABs/V6/Iran/Full.html Iran Last Updated: January 2006 Background Iran’s economy is heavily reliant on oil exports, but the country is attempting to diversify. The country is earning high oil export revenues, but gasoline import costs are also rising rapidly. Iran's economy relies heavily on oil export revenues - around 80-90 percent of total export earnings and 40-50 percent of the government budget. Strong oil prices the past few years have boosted Iran’s oil export revenues and helped Iran's economic situation. For 2004, Iran's real GDP increased by around 4.8 percent. For 2005 and 2006, real GDP is expected to grow by around 5.6 percent and 4.8 percent, respectively. Inflation is running at around 15 percent per year. Despite higher oil revenues, Iranian budget deficits remain a chronic problem, in part due to large-scale state subsidies on foodstuffs, gasoline, etc. Expenditures on fuels were estimated at $4.7 billion in 2004, and the country's parliament (the Majlis) has rejected measures to raise consumer prices. To the contrary, in January 2005, the Majlis decided to freeze domestic prices for gasoline and other fuels at 2003 levels. Currently, gasoline costs less than 40 cents per gallon in Iran, far below market cost, contributing to a rapid (8-10 percent per year) growth rate in gasoline consumption. In addition, the country imports around one-third of its gasoline. To pay for sharply increased subsidy expenditures, the Majlis voted in mid-November 2005 to spend an extra $3 billion during the 2005/2006 fiscal year.
