January 16 marks the anniversary of implementation of the JCPOA which Iran struck with the P5+1 group of countries in Vienna.
Since JCPOA implementation, Iran has more than doubled its crude oil exports and has brought it to over 2.570 million barrels per day with its record being in December 2016 with a daily average of 2.83 mb.
"The world has admitted that Iran's oil and gas industry has dramatically developed in recent years," he said, stressing that a lot has been done in the country in the past three years, since Iranian President Hassan Rouhani took office in 2013.
The official also said Iran's oil revenue has dramatically grown since the deal Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) members clinched in December.
"For the time being, Iranian tankers can freely use other countries' flags to sale in high seas and purchase of tanker parts and items either inside or outside of the country is easily carried out at lower expenses," he added.
JCPOA and Foreign Companies
"This has given Iran the freedom to choose from international partners in developing its oil and gas fields," he said.
A heads of agreement (HOA) with the Total, CNPC and Petronas for developing phase 11 of the supergiant South Pars Gas Field valued at 5 billion dollars has made so much progress so far.
Petrochemical Industry
The National Petrochemical Company (NPC) is in talks with companies from Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan and France and has so far signed a number of cooperation documents valued at more than $10b.
