Iran minister: Local producers provide most of equipment for oil industry
A major portion of the equipment required for the Iranian oil industry is ensured by domestic producers, the Fars news agency quoted Iranian Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi as saying.
"There is no specific problem in developing the South Pars gas field," he said, adding that more financial support will accelerate the pace of development.
Global sanctions against Iran not only do not have any hindering
effect on the country's oil industry, but also have turned the
Islamic republic into an exporter of equipment and goods, Qasemi
said in May.
"Despite all threats of the enemies, there is no concern regarding
development of the oil industry relying on expertise and knowledge
of Iranian scientists," he said, IRNA news agency reported.
Qasemi said that the country is approaching "total
self-sufficiency" in the production of equipment required in the
country's oil industry.
Iran plans to become self-sufficient in producing 19 highly used
goods which are strategic in the oil industry, deputy oil minister
for technology Mohammad-Reza Moqaddam said in July.
Moqaddam added that according to Oil Minister Qasemi's order,
technologies for manufacturing around 19 oil goods should be
developed by the end of the fifth five-year development plan in
March 2016.
