About Us:

The National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) is involved in the exploration, drilling, production, research and development, refining, distribution and export of oil, gas and petroleum products.

NIOC subsidiaries include Iranian Offshore Oil Company, which produces oil and gas from the offshore South Pars field; Central Iranian Oil Fields Company, which is in charge of oil and gas exploration and production in central Iran; National Iranian South Oil Company; Pars Oil and Gas Company; National Iranian Oil Terminals Company; National Iranian Drilling Company; and National Iranian Tanker Company.

Iran’s state-run oil company traces its roots back to the early 20th century, when William Knox D’Arcy was awarded the country’s first oil exploration concession. Oil was discovered in 1908, by which time the UK’s Burmah Oil held most of the rights to the concession. In 1935, the Burmah subsidiary Anglo-Persian Oil Company was renamed Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, and in 1951 the company was nationalised by then Prime Minister Mossadegh – an action that led to his ousting in a 1953 coup d’etat.

Projects in the Middle East include South Pars and Abouzar Production Platform.
