SHANA (Tehran) - Iran’s petroleum industry experienced a turning point in May 2025. National Iranian Oil Co. (NIOC) introduced more than 200 investment opportunities worth $137 billion, signaling its inclination for partnership with the private sector and foreign investors. Amir Moqiseh, NIOC director of investment and business, tells “Iran Petroleum” that Iran’s new oil strategy is translated into sweetening terms of oil contracts, hedging investment risks, ending restrictions enshrined in old contracts and full support for the private sector.
