Dadvar noted that at the start of the 14th administration’s term, the country’s refining capacity was about 2.24 million barrels per day, which has since risen by approximately 160,000 barrels. The increase was achieved through continuous monitoring and precise management of refinery operations.

The Abadan refinery saw the highest capacity increase at 70,000 barrels per day, followed by the Persian Gulf Star refinery (35,000 barrels) and the Isfahan refinery (30,000 to 40,000 barrels).

Dadvar emphasized maximizing the use of Iran’s refining capacity, stating that the expansion was managed in a way that minimized crude oil reserves in transit and balancing tanks. Despite this, the added capacity has been successfully maintained.

He also highlighted that last winter, daily production averaged 7 to 8 million liters of gasoline, 10 to 12 million liters of diesel, and increased volumes of kerosene and jet fuel compared to previous years.

“These achievements are just a small part of the round-the-clock efforts by NIORDC and its subsidiaries to ensure stable fuel supply during last year’s harsh winter,” Dadvar said.
