HE Bijan Zanganeh
,Minister of Petroleum for Iran,Chairman of the National Petrochemical Company
With Iran slowly re-emerging onto the oil and gas scene, following the temporary easing of sanctions by the P5+1 nations, the coming 12 months could be absolutely vital for the Islamic Republic.
Longer-term lifting of sanctions would free up enormous amounts of cash for Iran to invest in its oil and gas infrastructure. Iran has already indicated its desire to strengthen its position downstream and increase its production of higher value refined products.
As chairman of Iran’s National Petrochemical Company and the country’s petroleum minister, there are few people in Iran’s oil and gas sector who wield as much power as HE Bijan Zanganeh.
NPC recognises the importance of the role that the petrochemicals industry can play in Iran’s economic rehabilitation, and Zanganeh will have a key role to play in facilitating this.
