5 Iran is an energy superpower At 2006 levels of production, oil proceeds represented about 18.7 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) The oil and gas industry has been the engine of economic growth, directly affecting public development projects, the government s annual budget, and most foreign exchange sources. In FY 2009, the sector accounted for 60 percent of total government revenues and 80 percent of the total annual value of both exports and foreign currency earnings

6 In 2012, Iran, which exports around 1.5 million barrels of crude oil a day, was the second-largest exporter among the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) Iran's annual oil and gas revenues could reach $250 billion by 2015 Iran plans to invest a total of $500 billion in the oil sector before 2025 Iran s Natural gas 32.3 trillion cubic meters of proven natural gas reserves in 2006 Natural gas production will reach 700 million cubic meter/day by 2012 and 900 million cubic meter/day by 2015

7 Iran set a goal of increasing its natural gas production capacity to 300 billion cubic meters by 2015 Following the discovery of a large gas deposit in the Caspian sea (The Sardar Jangal gas field) in 2011 estimated at 50 trillion cubic feet (some 1.4 trillion cubic meters), Iran could rank first in the world in terms of gas reserves

9 The National Petrochemical Company (NPC) Founded in 1964, NPC began its activities by operating a small fertilizer plant in Shiraz, Iran petrochemical industry dates back to The first petrochemical complex to produce fertilizer kicked off then. Today, NPC is the second largest producer and exporter of petrochemicals in the Middle East. Petrochemicals, Output capacity in 2006 was estimated at 15 million tons, and more than 40 mil tone in 2010 and plan to reach 100 mil tone by 2015.

10 National Petrochemical Company (Quantity: thousand tons / Value: million USD) Product Domestic sale - Quantity/Value (2003) Chemicals 749 thousand tons/ $232 million Fertilizers 896 thousand tons/ $99 million Polymers 105 thousand tons/ $76 million Aromatics 335 thousand tons/ $172 million Fuel & hydrocarbons 2459 thousand tons/ $646 million Total: 4544 thousand tons / $1225 million Exports - Quantity/Value (2003) 804 thousand tons/ $217 million 2069 thousand tons/ $138 million 842 thousand tons/ $555 million 167 thousand tons/ $73 million 683 thousand tons/ $140 million 4565 thousand tons / $1123 million

11 Receiving 30 percent of Iran s petrochemical exports between China and India were the major trading partners in this industry. Iran s petrochemical industries have absorbed a large amount of private and public investment In the early 2000s, 43 percent of these investments was financed by NPC. Another 53 percent is owned by foreign creditors (more than 100 foreign banks and foreign companies), 3 percent by banks, and 1 percent by the capital market.
