According to NISOC, Ebrahim Piramoun stated that alongside the company’s primary mission of ensuring stable energy supply for the country, environmental responsibilities—particularly in reducing pollution, combating desertification, and optimizing natural resource use—have always been a priority.
Piramoun emphasized that a comprehensive approach to development is a strategic principle in NISOC’s plans. He noted that last year, the company achieved a significant environmental milestone by reducing flared gas by 345 million cubic feet per day. This year, the target is to cut an additional 200 million cubic feet daily.
The NISOC CEO also highlighted collaborative projects with Khuzestan’s Department of Natural Resources and Watershed Management. Under a joint agreement, efforts are underway to combat desertification across more than 24,000 hectares of the province’s arid lands, reflecting the company’s commitment to social and climate responsibilities.
Piramoun concluded, "Sustainable development in the oil industry can only be achieved alongside environmental protection. These two paths cannot be separated."
