Andrew Wright - - Horizon Development Group
2016- The Iran Upstream and Downstream Opportunity- what is needed, when it is needed, why it is needed and how to be successful in providing what is required
Talk Description.
In 2015 the National Iranian Oil Company announced that they require $150 billion of upstream investment and $77 billion of downstream investment in their energy industry over the next ten years. In November 2015 they unveiled the new Iran Petroleum Contract (IPC) to allow International Oil Companies to invest in the Iran upstream. These IPC projects are one of three opportunities for IOC’s and international oil field equipment, goods and service providers as NIOC spend around $4 billion a year on operating costs and $5 to $10 billion in their subsidiaries on capital investment and major refurbishment projects.
Iran requires both capital and technology for its oil and gas industries and it will achieve this technology transfer to the Iranian supply chain through local content targets for both the IOCs and NIOC and its subsidiaries. As a consequence of sanctions and a policy of developing a resilient economy, Iran has surprising gaps in its capabilities alongside a fully functioning and effective oil and gas supply chain. It is recognising these gaps, the opportunities to supply the equipment, goods and services that Iran requires and partnering with the right local companies, who will enhance the chance of success while protecting corporate reputation and shareholder value, that will determine which IOCs and international equipment, goods and service providers are successful in the Iranian market in long term.
This talk will briefly address what is required in Iran, when it will be needed and how to win work and build a long term sustainable business in the Iranian upstream and downstream equipment, goods and services market.
