RoydadNaft – <\/a><\/span>\u00a0The director of coordination and production supervision at National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC), referring to last year\u2019s severe cold weather and high gas consumption, said the gas industry maintained the stability of the gas network across the country through the dedication and hard work of its employees\u2014ensuring not a single cubic meter of gas was lost.<\/p>\n

Mohammadreza Joulaei spoke Tuesday at the annual meeting of senior gas industry managers, attended by Saeed Tavakoli, deputy oil minister for gas affairs. He said, \u201cLast winter was extremely challenging for the gas industry, but thanks to the determination and relentless efforts of employees nationwide, we overcame it successfully.\u201d<\/p>\n

Highlighting the measures taken by the production coordination and supervision department last year, Joulaei noted that refineries implemented highly effective actions to ensure energy supply. \u201cOur colleagues in the refining sector, alongside other divisions of the National Gas Company, worked tirelessly to maximize and sustain production,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He added that some critical actions taken at refineries\u2014such as South Pars, Shahid Hasheminejad, Fajr Jam, and Sarkhoon\u2014involved significant risks, yet they prevented any loss of gas.<\/p>\n

Unprecedented coordination across gas sector<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Joulaei pointed out that refineries processed over 1 billion cubic meters of gas daily\u201440 million cubic meters more than planned. Of this, 880 million cubic meters entered transmission lines, which were efficiently managed by the gas transmission company. \u201cThis reflects our colleagues\u2019 relentless efforts to ensure we did not fail the nation during critical times,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Despite limitations, distribution teams managed pressures through continuous coordination, and the National Gas Company\u2019s dispatching team worked at full capacity to maintain seamless operations.<\/p>\n

Joulaei emphasized that this year\u2019s key achievement was exceptional coordination between sectors\u2014refineries and transmission, engineering, and development teams\u2014enabling rapid deployment of personnel and equipment without formal delays. \u201cThis saved significant time and demonstrated precise coordination across the company,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n

Addressing shortcomings<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Acknowledging existing shortcomings, Joulaei said efforts are underway to resolve them. \u201cThis year, we will focus on three key areas, particularly research and development, and review supply chain processes for improvement\u2014all to enhance the gas industry\u2019s quality and productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n

He urged all departments to implement necessary reforms, stressing that the operational coordination seen between refineries and transmission should extend to other units, especially headquarters. \u201cThis will boost efficiency and synergy across the organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joulaei concluded by noting that while work at the NIGC is demanding, every challenge serves a purpose. \u201cWe endure these difficulties for growth and excellence, sparing no effort to achieve progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
