TEHRAN – The CEO of Iranian Oil Pipeline and Telecommunications Company (IOPTC) highlighted the major achievements in the oil transfer industry during the Islamic Revolution era.
In an interview with IRIB, Mr. Abbasali Jafari Nasab pointed to the goals and field of activities of the IOPTC, adding that the company is the link between downstream and upstream in the oil industry.
He pointed to the daily transfer of over 400m liters of oil derivatives by the company, adding that such a huge volume of transfer is carried out through 14,000 kilometers of pipeline while if the company wanted to transfer such an amount of oil products by the fuel trucks, it would have needed 60,000 trucks, it means 840 kilometers of trucks on the roads of the country.
Jafari Nasab also pointed to the ninefold growth in transfer of oil products after the Islamic Revolution, adding that in 1979, around 6176m liters of oil products were carried out annually through 2784 kilometers of pipelines but now tripling the length of the oil transfer pipeline after the Islamic Revolution, the volume of oil products transfer by the end of last year was ninefold.
He also pointed to the sensitivity of oil transfer operation and round-the-clock efforts of the company’s staff, urging media for being more careful in accurate reporting the related news to the industry.
