The oil industry is highly water-intensive, requiring significant water resources for both upstream and downstream operations. Since most of Iran’s oil and gas fields are located in the south, near the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman, seawater desalination has been prioritized to supply water for upstream activities.

Additionally, as part of its social responsibility initiatives, the oil industry plays a key role in providing water to underserved regions. Desalination projects in these areas not only meet industrial demand but also support local communities.

In line with this, three desalination projects will be offered for investment at the event. These opportunities, with a combined daily output of 13,600 cubic meters, include projects under Iran Oil Terminals Co. and Iran Offshore Oil Co.

Iran Oil Terminals Co. will present one project with a daily capacity of 10,000 cubic meters, while Iran Offshore Oil Co. will introduce two projects totaling 3,600 cubic meters per day.

At the event, the National Iranian Oil Company will showcase over 200 investment opportunities for large, medium and small investors under various contract models.
