The director of projects at NPC, Ali Mohammad
Bossaqzadeh, told a meeting of senior petroleum and petrochemical officials
held on Monday to assess development of petrochemical projects in the country
that the projects aimed at supplying feedstock to petrochemical facilities were
prioritized over other projects.
The meeting reviewed the current state of the
petrochemical industry's projects, including their physical progress, challenges,
problems, and the timing of their commissioning and startup. The meeting was
mounted in the presence of Marzieh Shahdaei, Deputy Petroleum Minister, NPC CEO
and Deputy Petroleum Minister for Petrochemical Affairs Reza Norouzzadeh, and
members of the NPC's board of directors and representatives of a number
projects under construction.
Mr. Bossaqzadeh said the feedstock supplying
projects were considered upstream petrochemical projects and their immediate
completion was more crucial for development of the sector in the country.
