National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company (NIOPDC) is making preparations for export of oil products to Iraqi Kurdistan region.
With the increase in Iran’s gas production and a reduction in consumption of oil products in Iranian power plants, a large amount of liquefied fuel is left for supply to the neighboring countries.
Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and other neighbors are regarded as new destinations for Iranian oil products.
According to the latest planning, Iran is also mulling exports of oil products to Iraqi Kurdistan region and preparatory works are underway for the purpose.
Esmaeil Hasham Firouz, a senior NIOPDC official said that this company is planning to export gas oil and kerosene to Iraqi Kurdistan province.
