Export of petchems, petroleum products satisfactory: Min.

SHANA -- Iranian Minister of Petroleum Bijan Zangeneh described the current state of Irans export of petrochemicals and petroleum products as satisfactory.

During a meeting with members of the energy committee of the Iranian parliament on Sunday, Zangeneh said the previous Iranian calendar year of 1397 which ended on March 20 was a good year for oil industry.

We had no limits for gas supply either to the industrial or power generation sectors during the year, the official said.

He said over 92 percent of the Iranian population had access to natural gas, saying over 99 percent of the urban population and 80 percent of the rural population also had access to the item in Iran.

The official said that efforts were being made for not disclosing any numbers regarding the countrys oil and gas condensate exports due to the US sanctions and the potential advantages that might be taken of the figures by Iran's enemies.

The Iranian Minister of Petroleum further said Iran was able to export oil and condensate at desired levels and had no technical shortcoming in this regard. The problem is that oil exports have become a political and security matter, not a practical one.

The official underlined the recent flash floods in several Iranian provinces including the oil-rich southwestern province of Khuzestan.
