13 Iran s Role for securing Asian Refiners Taste for Extra Heavy Crude oil grade By increasing the secondary units capacity in Asia, demand for extra heavy crude oils has been surged significantly in the last few years, One of the current and main concern of Asian refiners is shortage of extra heavy crude oils in the Middle East, Upcoming Iranian new heavy crude(west Karun) with the API around 24, would mitigate this concern significantly, West Karun crude oil production has already reached to 250 kbbl/d and is expected to be added as new crude oil to the Iranian export basket by the end of The production is planned to be increased up to 700 kbd within 3 years. 13

22 The I.R.Iran s Potentials at a glance Economy Sector Iran qualifies from many aspects to be a good location for investment and doing business. it has huge potential for investing after the lifting of economic sanctions, Some of the features(main advantages of Iran) are highlighted below: Vast domestic market with a population of 81 million growing steadily, Young and educated population along with huge natural resources One of the top producers of Zinc, Lead, Aluminum, Manganese and Copper in the world: 4th to 9th rank in production of Zinc, Lead, Cobalt, Aluminum, Manganese and Copper in the world, Having the largest and most diversified industries in the MENA, 22

23 The I.R.Iran s Potentials at a glance Economy Sector Fiscal incentives, 6 Free Trade-Industrial Zones and 19 Special Economic Zones, Security and political stability, Tax exemptions and Incentives, Untapped and consumer market, Excellent strategic geographic position: The quick and easy access to neighboring markets with a population of 350 to 400 million, 23

24 The I.R.Iran is the most stable and safe country in the Middle East and potentially could be as an export hub for the goods which would be able to produce through joint venture of Iranian and Asian companies 24

25 Conclusion Based on the win-win policy, it is expected that the Asian refineries show their good gesture and to increase crude oil lifting from the I.R.Iran in the post sanction era. The I.R.Iran reciprocally will appreciate Asian companies investment in upstream, midstream and downstream of oil, gas and petrochemical sectors. The I.R.Iran and Asian Countries could also collaborate together in different areas. Last but not the least, such type of collaboration depends on the cooperation of all interested companies to provide finance facilities, transferring technology and increasing efficiency through the joint venture with Iranian companies and this type of cooperation, will brings benefits for both countries in the long run. 25
