Nasrollah Zarei, managing director of the Iranian Oil Engineering and Development Company, said the three-week operation increased throughput capacity along the more than 1000-kilometer route to the Jask export terminal. The project was executed under what he described as “special regional conditions” and involved round-the-clock coordination among pipeline technical teams, pumping stations, control systems and support units.

“Many operational decisions were made on the ground and in real time,” Zarei said in a statement carried by the company’s news service.

He cited logistical restrictions, war-related complexities and the challenge of maintaining stable operations over the long-distance route as key hurdles. The project relied entirely on domestic engineering, manufacturing and contracting resources, he said, adding that sanctions had barred access to foreign equipment.

“Reliance on internal capacities and the knowledge of Iranian specialists was one of the most important factors in this project’s success,” Zarei said.

The Goreh-Jask pipeline and the Makran export terminal, he said, have become symbols of Iranian technical capability in the oil sector. The emergency expansion demonstrated the industry’s ability to sustain strategic missions under the most difficult conditions and safeguard energy export stability.

Zarei also acknowledged international partners and friendly nations that continued cooperation during the wartime period, saying such relationships formed or sustained in hard days are valuable capital for long-term future collaboration.
