Being an important source of non-oil revenues, it plays a significant role in the expansion of local industries, the development and localization of technologies and the growth of its downstream industries. It is also important for the industry’s research and development activities. Diversity of feedstocks, access to international waters and specialist workforce are among the major advantages of the industry. The genesis of Iran’s petrochemical industry goes to 1963 when a fertilizer plant was built in the city of Shiraz. One year later, the state-owned National Petrochemical Company was established to spearhead the development and policy-making for the industry. During 1964- 1977, Razi (ex-Shahpour), Abadan, Pazargad, Ahwaz Carbon Black (ex-Iran Carbon), Kharg, Farabi (ex-Iran-Nippon) and Shiraz expansion projects were built. During this period, a large portion of Bandar Imam Petrochemical Co. (ex-Iran and Japan Petrochemical Co.) was completed. This growth trend was, however, disrupted after Iraq invaded Iran in early 1980s. When the war came to an end, Iran implemented its first five-year development plan (1989- 1994) after the victory of its Islamic Revolution. Under the plan, NPC reconstructed its war-damaged facilities and built two new plants in Esfahan and Shazand (Arak).In 1997, NPC’s output reached 5.2 million tons and in 2013 it rose to 60 million tons. By implementing more than 67 approved projects, the output capacity continued to surge and reach more than 120 million tons.

It is bordered in the north by Khuzestan and Kohkiloyeh- va-Boyerahmad Provinces; in the east by Fars Province; in the northeast by Hormozgan Province and in the south and the west by the Persian Gulf. The population of the province is about 886,267 of whom 468,062 are male and 418,205 are female. About 65% of the population is urban. Close to 25.7% of the population are less than 15-year old, 70.25% are between 15-65 and the remaining 4.06% are over 65 years old. Farsi is the dominant language in the region. Some residents speak Arabic while the nomads speak Turkish. Average temperature is 23.1° C and average humidity stands at 67%-75% during 6:30 - 12:30 am. The history of Bushehr goes back to the ancient Elam when the Elamite kings used it as a naval base and a port city. Having a 600km border with the Persian Gulf, Bushehr enjoys a strategic location. Resisting foreign intervention is a major part of the contemporary history of Bushehr. With a host of different huge industrial project underway in the province, including Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant and Pars Special Economic/Energy Zone, it has attracted a large workforce from other provinces.
PETROCHEMICAL COMPLEXES 9 th Edition 60 Major industries and economic sectors in the region Oil, gas, petrochemical, fishing and agriculture (date palm groves) are the staple industries in the province. The geographical advantages of Bushehr including its vicinity to the Persian Gulf plus its fishing and date industry play an important role in its economy. But, its huge hydrocarbon reserves have considerably boosted its economy. Bushehr consists of 9 cities, 29 towns, 22 districts and 43 villages. The major natural, archeological and historical places of interest in the province are as follows: Bushehr: (in central region) the ancient Siraf region, Qavam ancient underground water reservoir , Malek Building, Shaqab Cemetery, Sheikh Sadoon Mosque, Holy Christ Church, (in Kharg Island) the Dutch Castle, Pozeidon Temple, Mir Mohammad Hanifeh mausoleum, Kharg ancient church

It covers an area of 3,083 sq km and has a population of over 95,000 people. It has an ancient history which goes back to 350 BC. During the Safavid period, it was named Kunaga. After the Safavid, the name was changed to Kangan. At the early Islamic period it was named Bandar (port) Siraf. In the sixteenth century, Kangan was divided in two regions. The division is still valid ever since despite some minor changes.
PETROCHEMICAL COMPLEXES 61 9 th Edition Poshtkooh region: Jam district is located in this region which consists of Jam and Riz villages with 129 small hamlets.
Sheibkooh region: The central section of the Town of Kangan is situated in this region. The region covers the coast of Kangan and its suburbs. It consists of 70 villages and 3 hamlets namely Assaluyeh, Nai Band and Taheri.Taheri Castle in Bandar Taheri, Mianloo hot spring and Seyyed Gharib Mausoleum in Kangan, Jam palm trees and the beautiful Bandar Kangan and Bandar Taheri seashores are the most captivating places of interest in the area.The exploration of huge gas reserves in Kangan has given a boost to the region’s role in Iran’s economy. Explorations of Kangan, Nar, South and North Pars fields have led to enormous investment in Kangan. Fajr Refinery in Kangan and South Pars refinery, which is already under construction, are among the world’s largest refineries. Pars region has attracted Iran’s largest domestic investment.
PETROCHEMICAL COMPLEXES 9 th Edition 62 Assaluyeh Port It is located on the northern coast of the Persian Gulf, 70 km southeast of Kangan Port. There is no consensus about the origin and the meaning of the word Assaluyeh. Some say that the fresh water that flew down from Bid Khoon to a nearby valley was very tasty and refreshing. As a result, the locals called it ‘Asal’, meaning honey in Farsi. Some others say the word has originated from the Elamite language and was written ‘aslaviyeh’ meaning port. And another interpretation is that the word has its roots in the word ‘asl’ which means ‘pond’. In 1998, Pars Special Economic /Energy Zone was established based on a cabinet authorization to utilize the gas from the South Pars field in a bid to develop the oil, gas, petrochemical and their related downstream industries. Covering an area of 30,000 hectares, the Zone lies on east of Bushehr province. It is 105km away from the offshore South Pars Gas field. The Zone is bounded in the west by Shirino village, in the south by the Persian Gulf, in the north by the Zagros Range and in the east by Chah Mobarak village. Its temperature ranges between 5-50 degrees centigrade in the course of the year. The average humidity ranges between 59-88 percent. Average annual precipitation is about 180 millimeters.
PETROCHEMICAL COMPLEXES 63 9 th Edition Pars Special Economic/Energy Zone (Assaluyeh) The Pars Special Economic / Energy Zone Organization on behalf of Iran’s Petroleum Ministry and National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) manages and develops the South and North oil and gas fields in the region. The Zone consists of three regions; Pars 1 (South Pars) with an area of 14.000 hectares, Pars 2 (Pars Kangan) with an area of 16.000 hectares and Pars 3 (North Pars) with an area of 16.000 hectares. The Organization was established in 1999 to support the development of South Pars Gas Field, the world’s largest gas field, through establishing, approving, planning, implementing, utilizing and maintaining of public infrastructures like roads, rail ways, ports, airports, power plants and drinking water facilities. The availibility of proper infrastructures in the up, middle and down streams of oil and gas industry, Pars Complex Port, the International Persian Gulf Airport, water and power facilities, communication, roads and available natural tourist attractions have made the region an ideal place for local and foreign investors. Lying on the coast of the Persian Gulf, the Zone has access to the rich hydrocarbon resources in the region providing suitable conditions for foreign investment. It is the hub of development activities underway at South Pars gas field. With its reserves estimated at 14 trillion cubic meters of gas and 18 billion barrels of condensates, the field is the world’s largest gas field. It represents 6.8% of the global gas reserves. Given the field’s capacity, 28 development phases and 3 giant LNG projects have so far been planned to be built in Assaluyeh and Kangan in an area of 30,000 hectares. Currently, the first ten phases are onstream. On average, $1.5bn has been invested for each phase. The implementation work of phases 11 - 24 have been started and are underway.
