Hamid Bord, the caretaker of the Ministry of Oil, today (Tuesday, November 3) accompanied by a group of deputies and senior managers of the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company, visited the reconstruction process of the damaged facilities at Rey Oil Depot. This depot, which is considered one of the most important oil storage centers in the country, requires serious repairs and reconstruction due to recent incidents and the damages caused by them.
The Necessity of Reconstructing Damaged Facilities
Rey Oil Depot, with a daily storage capacity of 1 million barrels of oil, plays a vital role in supplying fuel and petroleum products to the country. The damages inflicted on these facilities have a direct impact on the oil and gas supply chain of the country, and the rapid reconstruction of it is of special importance. During this visit, Hamid Bord emphasized that all efforts should be aimed at reducing downtime and resuming activities, referring to the Ministry of Oil's plans to expedite the reconstruction process.
Future Plans of the Ministry of Oil
The Ministry of Oil has extensive plans aimed at improving the condition of the damaged facilities, which include securing financial resources, equipping workshops, and utilizing modern technologies in the reconstruction process. Hamid Bord also pointed out the importance of continuous supervision over the reconstruction process and emphasized that all stages must be under strict control to ensure the quality of work. He also mentioned close cooperation with contractors and specialists in this field, stating that these collaborations could significantly expedite the reconstruction process.
This action is in line with the Ministry of Oil's major plans to improve infrastructure and increase the country's storage capacities. Given Iran's geographical position and the need for adequate storage, the reconstruction of Rey Oil Depot can serve as a successful model for similar projects in other parts of the country.
Considering the importance of this depot and its impact on ensuring the country's energy security, the Ministry of Oil has committed to accelerating the reconstruction and repair of these facilities. It is expected that with the completion of the reconstruction projects, Rey Oil Depot will be able to return to its full capacity and fulfill its role in supplying fuel to the country.
