    If oil disappeared tomorrow….

    If oil disappeared tomorrow, there would be no more jet fuel, gasoline or diesel. Internal combustion engine automobiles, buses, trucks, lorries and coaches would be stranded. Airplanes powered by jet fuel would be grounded. Freight and passenger rail powered by diesel would halt. People could not get to work; children could not get to school. The shipping industry, transporting both freight and passengers, would be devastated.

    Iran’s subsea gas pipeline project unique in Middle East

    SHANA (Tehran) – The Iranian Gas Engineering and Development Company (IGEDC) is for the first time in the Middle East implementing an undersea gas pipeline project in southern waters. A three-kilometer-long 30-inch pipeline is being laid underwater and the related Bandar Abbas-Laft-Gavarzin project is also underway simultaneously. A few countries have up to now carried out similar subsea gas, electricity, and water pipeline installation operations by using the horizontal directional drilling (HDD) technique. Relying on domestic knowledge-based companies’ expertise, IGEDC is implementing the project. The successful implementation of the offshore project will bring honor to Iran’s gas industry.
