Iran to Become Gasoline Exporter by 2013

Tuesday, Jan 06, 2009

Upon implementation of the plan for increasing gasoline production and constructing new refineries, by 2013 Iran will become self-sufficient in terms of procuring its domestic gasoline needs and join gasoline exporting countries.

Based on the report, Iran has ambitious plans regarding refineries and although all its related projects may not become operational as scheduled, completion of a few of them would enable Iran not to import gasoline.

Iran is currently building three of the largest FCC/RCC units in the world with an output capacity of 94,000 barrels per day (bpd) in Arak, 91,000 bpd in Isfahan and 79,000 bpd in Abadan. Experts believe that these three projects alone will produce sufficient gasoline to eliminate imports in the short term.
