Iranian Minister of Petroleum Bijan Zangeneh, NIOC CEO Masoud Karbasian and a number of NIOC top-brass officials attended the NIOC central building to launch the center on Sunday.

Farrokh Alikhani, the NIOC Deputy CEO for Production, who was in charge of the establishment and operation of this center, said the system is aimed at streamlining decision making at NIOC.

In the real time monitoring center of the NIOC, all the data regarding oil and gas production zones and their quantity and quality and the flow of fluid from the origin to the destination is fully known and the real time amount of production is displayed online at any given time.

"Based on the information of this center, the share of each province, city and even facilities in oil and gas production is clear and this information can help the National Iranian Oil Company in determining the share of each facility in the process,” the official said.

Alikhani said the center was designed by an Iranian representing a foreign company that was employed as the consultant to the project.
