NPC says investment packages introduced for Russians on Iran’s petchem projects
Russian companies are interested in investing in the downstream petrochemical industries in Iran, said the head of National Petrochemical Company (NPC), adding that investment packages have been prepared and introduced in this field.
Making the remarks on the sidelines of RosPlast Exhibition in Moscow, Morteza Shahmirzaei said the NPC is mainly interested in cooperation with Russian companies for exchanging techno-engineering services, technology transfer and the export of catalysts needed by Russia’s petrochemical industry, IRNA reported.
“With the investigations carried out, Russia can now export some of its surplus petrochemical products to Iran, and in return import techno-engineering services, especially in the field of technology and catalysts,” Shahmirzaei noted.
Iran’s rich oil and gas reserves, proximity to the high seas, easy access to export markets such as India, China, East Asian countries and African countries are among the advantages of foreign investment in Iran, he concluded.
