Declaring that one of the plans for the use of radiation in the oil industry is to facilitate and accelerate lightening of heavy and extra-heavy crude oil, the AEOI deputy stated: “Iran has one of the largest reserves of heavy and extra-heavy crude oil in the world. Therefore, the acquisition of this knowledge has provided a new chapter in the development of cooperation between AEOI and the country's oil industry under the crippling sanctions and the ongoing economic war.”
