The meeting — held at the Petroleum Ministry headquarters and attended
by Minister Mohsen Paknejad and other senior executives — focused on ensuring
stable and timely energy supply ahead of the cold season, particularly after
last year’s early onset of winter temperatures.
Data presented during the session indicated that liquid fuel stocks in
power plant and National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company (NIOPDC)
storage facilities have more than doubled year-on-year, reflecting the
ministry’s strong commitment to maintaining fuel security.
In the first half of the current year (1404), the Petroleum Ministry
also sustained steady gas feed to power plants despite unprecedented heat and
record electricity demand. Gas deliveries to the country’s power sector rose by
2 billion cubic meters from the same period last year, reaching 50.2 billion
cubic meters.
Other topics discussed included measures to expand raw gas production
onshore and offshore, the allocation of equivalent fuel to major industries and
power stations, and ongoing gas injection into storage facilities at Shourijeh
and Sarajeh.
