Preface:
In line with its practice of covering all information, facts, figures and statistics of Iran’s Petroleum Industry, IranOilGas Network has embarked on publishing its 5th successive Yearbook arranged in four categories which includes ‘Iran Upstream Oil & Gas’, ‘Iran Downstream Oil’, ‘Iran Downstream Gas’, and ‘Iran Petrochemicals’, and contains all that took place in Iran’s Petroleum Industry over the past Iranian year – 21st of March 2010 to 20th of March 2011.
Over the past year, the growth rate of petrochemical products was about 17% compared to its previous year.
During this period, Iran produced 2.5% of the world’s petrochemical products and 27% of those of the Middle East, which experienced a 4.1% and a 4.4% year-on-year increase respectively.
The export rate of petrochemical products - in terms of volume and value - rose about 26% and 24.7% respectively, compared to its previous year. Also local sales of petrochemical products - in terms of volume - rose about 33% compared to the year earlier.
Over the past year, various petrochemical projects, particularly methanol production projects, had been put to tender by the private sector, some of which were awarded. However, due to several reasons such as lack of financial resources, a number of these projects have not become operational yet.
In this edition of ‘Iran Petrochemical Yearbook’ - besides statistics - an overview of all ongoing projects in the petrochemical sector administered during last year has been also provided.
IranOilGas Network is pleased with the administration and the great care taken to ensure that the statistics and figures provided in its yearbooks are all authentic, reliable and as per information disclosed by official sources and the database available on the Network.
* Note: Throughout this Yearbook, ‘last year’ means Iranian year started on 21st of March 2010 and ended on 20th of March 2011.
