During a visit to the emergency conditions maneuver in the
Petrochemical Special Economic Zone on March 11th, Morteza Shahmirzaei, Deputy
Minister of Petroleum and CEO of the National Petrochemical Company, stated,
"The Special Economic Zone for Petrochemicals and other relevant entities
have jointly created a secure regional environment for long-term and
sustainable production."
He added, "Iran's economic land from the northern Persian Gulf
coast to the Sea of Oman is one of the safest and most cost-effective
industrial and economic regions in the world for petrochemical
investment."
Referring to the vast hydrocarbon reserves bestowed by God upon this
land, he said, "The skilled and dedicated human resources in the
petrochemical industry are the true guardians of domestic and foreign
investors' assets."
The Deputy Minister of Petroleum identified sufficient feedstock and
appropriate pricing as key pillars for investment in Iran's petrochemical
industry, emphasizing, "Today, over 85 to 90 percent of the goods and
equipment required by the petrochemical industry are produced by Iranian manufacturers
and producers at a global standard in the country, which has made it easier for
investors to enter this sector."
During a one-day trip, Shahmirzaei, along with the Deputy Minister of Petroleum,
visited the Mahshahr Special Economic Zone, commending petrochemical companies
during the National Clean Air Conference, including Petrochemical PetroNad
Asia, Polymer Donation, Koroush Petrochemical, Hirsapolimer, Palm Asmari
