WANA (Aug 30) – Iran’s Oil Minister, Mohsen Paknejad, announced that the country’s crude oil production capacity will rise with the launch of new petrochemical projects and the central processing facilities of the Azadegan oil field. The expansion is expected to add around 80,000 barrels per day to national crude output.

 

Speaking in a televised interview, Paknejad said several petrochemical complexes are ready for inauguration in the coming months.

 

He noted that, except for a brief delay due to special circumstances, the government has largely kept its promise of launching one project per month.

 

According to the minister, these openings will significantly boost the petrochemical industry’s production capacity.

 

Addressing efforts to raise oil output, Paknejad added that the Azadegan central processing facilities are prepared for operation.

 

“With the commissioning of these facilities, about 80,000 barrels per day will be added to the country’s crude oil production capacity. We plan to inaugurate this project at the right time with the presence of the President,” he stated.
