CEO of the Iranian National Oil and Gas Engineering and Construction Corporation (NIOEC) Mohammad Meshkinfam said that the progress of restoring damaged facilities and oil depots during the conflict in the area has reached about 80%.
The work of repairing and rebuilding oil infrastructure is being implemented to bring the affected projects back to normal operation.
Mr. Meshkinfam expressed hope that the entire related infrastructure will be restored to optimal operation before the end of Aban month according to the Iranian calendar (i.e., around the end of November).
According to the NIOEC leader, the progress of restoring facilities serving oil product transfer is currently about 60%. Meanwhile, fuel supply to Tehran has resumed after about two weeks since the attacks on the Rey oil depot.
Mr. Meshkinfam said that fuel distribution activities in Tehran have recovered, with capacity even exceeding the level before the facilities were attacked.
Reconstruction work is implemented according to two main items, including repairing the transportation and distribution system of oil products and rebuilding storage tanks and related works.
Construction units were mobilized to the site in just 3 days. In about 2 months, the technical force performed a volume of welding work equivalent to about 60,000 inches of welds (according to specialized calculations).
One of the difficulties in the restoration process is that there is no complete design when the project starts. To speed up progress, the units have carried out design and construction in parallel.
