International Exhibitions are one of the well recognized instruments
for gaining access to the potentials of the Iranian Oil Industry.
The benefits gained through the previous Thirteen Tehran International
Oil, Gas and Petrochemicals Exhibitions by Iranian and international
participants strongly justify supporting this annual event.
The Petroleum industry, apart from its role in the international arena
and satisfying a large portion of the world's oil requirements, also
makes great contributions towards providing the nation's hard
currency earnings, enhances national manufacturing and production
capabilities, creates local employment opportunities and provides
the required funding needed for the government's local investments
and public services. It is worth mentioning that the development
of new fields by the Ministry of Petroleum alone directly resulted
in the creation of more than 200,000 new jobs, which is unprecedented
in other sectors.
The 15th Oil Show attracted well over 1200000 specialist visitors from
both Iran and neighbouring countries in the region.
