Iran Set to End Gasoline Import

TEHRAN Sept 20 (Shana)--The start-up of two capacity enhancement projects in two refineries will eliminate Iran’s need for importing gasoline, a senior official said.

Managing-Director of National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company (NIORDC) Abbas Kazemi said the completion of capacity enhancement projects in Abadan and Bandar Abbas refineries will add 4 ml/d to the country’s production.
He said Iran has been importing 4.5 ml/d of gasoline on average since the start of the calendar year in March.
“We hope that with the 4-ml increase in Abadan and Bandar Abbas refineries’ gasoline production we will reach self-sufficiency in gasoline production before the start-up of Persian Gulf Star Refinery,” he said.
Kazemi said production in Abadan refinery will soar from 10.1 ml/d to 12.5 ml/d in autumn, adding that Bandar Abbas refinery will contribute 2 ml/d to the country’s gasoline production.
