TEHRAN- The Acting Oil Minister, emphasizing the need to accelerate the reconstruction of oil industry facilities damaged in the third imposed war, said: This measure goes beyond the implementation of industrial projects; it is a national and strategic action for the sustainability of energy supply, maintaining public calm, and continuing the country’s economic activities.
According to IRNA, Hamid Bovard said on Friday at a meeting to review reconstruction plans for damaged refineries in South Pars: The process of measures taken for reconstruction is favorable, but given the importance of the matter, the speed of implementation must be increased, and projects related to phases 9 and 10 must also proceed with greater focus and seriousness.
Stating that the reconstruction of oil infrastructure should not be regarded merely as an executive and industrial activity, he added: The importance of these projects lies in their direct effects on national interests and the continuation of the country’s vital services, and planning for their completion must be done with such an approach.
Referring to the dependence of a major part of the country’s population on the gas supply network, the Acting Oil Minister said: Currently, about 95 percent of the country has access to gas, and for this reason, any disruption in the supply of this energy can affect people’s daily lives.
