Sidelines of Iran Oil Show 2017 Attractive for Foreign Visitors (Part One) : Apart from the warm welcomes of the non-Iranian visitors, some of the sidelines of the Iran Oil Show 2017 have been more attractive for foreign visitors. We will see it at two parts.
1-Shiraz University Launches Methanol Research Institute
Iran’s Shiraz University has launched its first methanol research institute as per a deal it signed with the National Petrochemical Company (NPC).
The institute was established as per an agreement signed between the Ministry of Petroleum’s three main subsidiaries and 7 universities and 2 research centers last year for establishing centers for studying downstream oil projects.
The center will seek to acquire the technical savvy for production of methanol synthesis from natural gas and then supply acid acetic and methyl methacrylate (MMA) from methanol.
2- Refining Sector Indebted to JCPOA: Official
Iran’s oil refining and distribution sector hit the trail of progress in the post-sanction setting, a senior oil official said.
Shahrokh Khosravani, deputy managing director of the National Iranian Oil Products Refining and Destitution Company, said the nuclear deal Iran struck with world powers on its nuclear agenda was pretty instrumental in completion of several refining projects in Iran like Bandar Abbas Gas Condensate Refinery.
The deal is dubbed as the joint comprehensive plan of action or JCPOA. Once fully operational, the project will render Iran needless of gasoline imports.Khosravani was speaking on the sidelines of the 22nd Iran International Oil, Gas, Refining and Petrochemical Exhibition (Iran Oil Show-2017) which opened on Saturday at the city’s permanent fairground.
