The development of information exchange infrastructures facilitates interaction between systems and is considered a prerequisite for data-driven management in the oil industry.
Data governance in the Ministry of Oil is pursued based on clause "P" of Article 107 of the Seventh Development Plan Law. These actions began about a year ago and include the appointment of data overseers and the development of a data governance platform. The first phase of the oil industry's data governance platform is also underway, and it is expected to be unveiled by the end of 2026.
In this meeting, Mohammad Armanfar, the Director of Information Technology and Communications of the National Iranian Oil Company, hosted Mohammad Shojaeinia, the Deputy for Cybersecurity, and Fatemeh Abbasnejad, the Head of Smart Government at the General Directorate of Information Technology Development, Security, and Smart Government of the Ministry of Oil, along with Masoud Beiklarian, the Deputy for Smart Government Infrastructure Development, and Payam Masour, the Head of the National Information Exchange Center of the Iranian Information Technology Organization. A number of related managers and experts were also present at this visit.
Ultimately, this center is considered an important step towards completing the approval process and improving the information exchange and interoperability infrastructure in the oil industry. These actions not only help enhance the quality and security of data but also provide the necessary groundwork for the development of artificial intelligence applications and the improvement of decision-making processes in the oil industry.
