Exhibitors from 38 countries represented over 4,000 Iranian and
foreign international companies at the showcase, which is touted as the largest
annual convention in Iran's petroleum industry.
The four-day exhibition is sponsored by the Iranian Ministry
of Petroleum and its subsidiary the National Iranian Oil Company.
The exhibitors see the event as great opportunity to directly
get in touch with major foreign companies and domestic producers to undertake
mutual cooperation and strike contracts in the upstream and downstream oil
sectors.
Last year's exhibition was attended by 800 international
companies from China, South Korea, Turkey, Italy, Spain, France, Austria,
Germany and Finland.
