These products will include equipment used for drilling in sea and land, chemical materials, petrochemical catalysts, pump, turbines, and turbo compressors, Deputy Oil Minister Mohammad Reza Moqaddam explained.
A large investment has been made for the production of these products, Moqaddam told the Mehr News Agency. Moqaddam added upon an order from Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi a comprehensive plan has been drawn up for production of catalysts and chemical materials which are used in petrochemical industry and gas sweetening. He added that a mass production of highly-used catalysts is currently underway. “Iran will even become an exporter of some of these strategic goods soon,” he predicted. mehr/281
