    • National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) has since 1951 been tasked with arranging petroleum industry activities including exploration, drilling, production, research and development, oil and gas exports, and associated policymaking. Owning huge hydrocarbon reserves, NIOC is one of the largest oil companies in the world. As science and technology make progress in the petroleum industry and political and economic ties become more complicated, NIOC has seen its standing improve. Therefore, national and regional policies and cooperation with top industrialized nations in energy supply and bringing stability to global oil markets top NIOC agenda. NIOC’s administrative organization is as follows: Management (Directorate of International Affairs, Directorate of Research and Technology, Directorate of Corporate Planning, Directorate of Coordination and Supervision on Oil and Gas Production, Directorate of IT and Communications, Directorate of Human Resources Development, Directorate of Financial Affairs, Directorate of Legal Affairs, Directorate of Exploration, Directorate of HSE, Project for Assisting Oil-Rich Zones Development); Top Administration (Public Relations, Vetting Board, Security, Inspection, Complaints, Internal Audit); Organization (Research Institute of Petroleum Industry, Petroleum Industry Health Organization, National Iranian Gas Export Company, Iran Fuel Conservation Organization, Pension, Saving and Welfare Funds); Production companies (National Iranian South Oil Company, Iranian Central Oil Fields Company, Pars Oil and Gas Company, Iranian Offshore Oil Company, Arvandan Oil and Gas Production Company, Khazar Exploration and Production Company) and Technical services companies (National Iranian Drilling Company, Petroleum Development and Engineering Company, Tehran Kala Naft Procurement and Manufacturing Support Company, Iran Oil Terminals Company, Pars Special Economic Energy Zone Organization). company
    • The daily increasing demand for gas to supply energy and fuel and generate hard currency from gas exports for investment in parent and infrastructure industries set the foundation for centralizing activities related to the gas industry. National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) was established in 1965 based on legally enacted Articles of Association with an initial capital of IRR 25 billion. In parallel with economic and social development in the country and by using gas as a major source in supplying fuel and generating energy and revenue, NIGC has since enhanced its capabilities and engaged specialized manpower and achieved necessary advanced machinery and equipment to carry out gas-associated operations. Today, NIGC is able to handle all gas-associated affairs by itself in accordance with internationally recognized standards.
      NIGC is now one of the top ten in the Middle East. It supplies more than 75% of Iran’s gas needs.
      Enjoying a significant standing both internally and externally, NIGC has restructured itself based on its needs and extent of activities. company
    • National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company (NIORDC) was established by March 1992 in line with the Petroleum Ministry policy of separating upstream activities (crude oil and gas exploration and production) from downstream activities (transfer of crude oil and petroleum products, refining, exporting, importing and distributing petroleum products).
      Currently one of the main four subsidiaries of the Ministry of Petroleum, NIORDC is tasked with steering the operations of its own offshoots – National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company (NIOPDC), Iranian Oil Pipeline and Telecommunications Company (IOPTC), Abadan Oil Refining Company, Imam Khomeini Oil Refining Company, National Iranian Oil Engineering and Construction Company (NIOEC) and Oil Refining Industries Development Company (ORIDC).
      NIORDC’s missions are divided into production, transfer and distribution (as links of downstream activities value chain); production, transfer, storage and distribution of petroleum products across the country by making efforts in favor of upgrading the quality of products and showing strong presence in regional and global markets through interaction with neighboring and regional nations in swapping or transacting crude oil and petroleum products as well as joint investment.
      Furthermore, NIORDC is tasked with providing engineering and telecommunications services to supply chain companies. NIOPDC, a key subsidiary of NIORDC, is distributing domestically-manufactured or imported petroleum products and manage filling stations across the country. It also monitors the proper activity of gas stations, CNG stations and aviation fueling centers. company
    • The petrochemical industry in Iran dates from the 1950s. In late 1950s, the then Ministry of Economy established a chemical agency to promote the petrochemical industry in Iran. In 1958, a chemical fertilizer plant was constructed in Marvdasht in Fars Province. As the growth of the petrochemical industry required broader specialized activities and further coordination with the oil and gas industry, an organization was needed to be established to develop and lead the petrochemical industry. That was why in 1963, National Petrochemical Company (NPC) was established under the authority of National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC). All activities related to the petrochemical industry were centralized under NPC.
      NPC has since operated development plans, achieved a high standing and made maximum use of relative advantages in the country to be more effective in the region and the world. Evidence of such presence is seen in changes in economic variables and indicators like production, export, investment, value-added and share of national production, reginal partnership and extent of export markets. After all production companies were privatized, NPC – relying on more than five decades of experience and enjoying human and intellectual capitals – is engaged in macro-planning, policymaking, regulation, arrangement, facilitation and support of sustainable development of the petrochemical industry with a view to reducing raw materials sales and completing the petrochemical value chain. Laying emphasis on social responsibility, NPC is instrumental in national economic development and upgrading the quality of life by protecting the environment and national resources, creation of value, accountability, and respecting the rights of stakeholders. company

Iran Energy Perspective

Iran’s energy perspective studies the current and future performance of production, conversion and processing, transmission, import and export of oil and gas and other energy products and finally evaluates energy supply and demand at the national level in interaction with the economic and social sectors connected with the energy development analysis scenarios. Though developed modelling, the necessary ground is prepared for analysis and decision-making and choosing a more secure path in energy development.

Today, energy is a key economic pillar in any country with direct or indirect impacts on the economic, social, political and environmental sectors. Under such circumstances, setting up an integrated database of energy resources with constant and precise monitoring and control over various sectors of energy along with scientific analyses and forecasts through social, cultural, technological, economic, environmental and political indicators as well as investment and pricing, which all influence the energy sector, may provide a national energy outlook.

Meantime, development of technology, environmental concerns, development of new unconventional fossil resources like shale oil and gas, renewable energies, and geopolitical changes in the energy sector would change the future of global energy supply and demand and affect industries in other nations.

Secure, reliable, recoverable and clean energy supply for the purpose of economic growth and improving living standards remains a major challenge of the present century. States need to know where the global energy market developments are headed and how their countries are affected. It would be necessary for them to know how to modify the energy supply and demand mix in order to make maximum benefit from ongoing developments. In light of unpredictable issues influencing the global energy market, it would be impossible to offer precise and realistic projections about the trend of growth in the market. Therefore, governments are seeking to adopt long-term energy scenarios in a bid to study various possibilities and get ready to face challenges. To that end, a variety of models have been developed for various nations to use based on their own conditions and facilities.

Clearly, studying the mechanism of production, conversion and processing, transfer, import and export of oil, gas and other energy products and finally assessing the energy supply and demand based on the energy sector development analyses would pave the way for realistic analysis and decision-making and choosing a more secure way towards energy development in the country.


The main objectives of energy perspective are as follows:

-    Identifying and assessing mutual impacts of energy, economy and the environment

-    Forecasting final energy demand by dividing energy products in various economic and social sectors

-    Assessing and forecasting energy balance for primary, secondary and final sources of energy

-    Analyzing optimal methods of useful energy supply for consumers by taking into consideration long-term technical and economic justifications

-    Determining an optimal energy products mix and optimal mix of energy supply system technologies in the mid-term and long-term by taking into account environmental restrictions and sustainable development requirements

-    Studying energy saving potential and economic assessment in the energy sector

-    Estimating environmental pollution emissions and examining the impact of policies on energy development

-    Assessing investment and financial resources needed for developing the energy sector

-    Assessing the impacts of energy policy on the development of economic and social sectors
