South Zagros Oil and Gas Production Company, a subsidiary of the National Iranian Oil Company, has manufactured or repaired the 521 items needed in the oil and gas industry. SZOGPC’s operations director, Seyed Mahmoud Mirbagheri said on Tuesday that 499 of the company’s needed items were supplied by domestic contractors.

The other 22 were also repaired by Iranian companies, he added.

He said the company had prioritized identification of proficient domestic companies that could supply or manufacture the data-x-items needed in SZOGPC’s oil and gas projects, adding that the engineering section of the company had formed technical and specialized teams in various sectors like electricity, mechanic and measuring instruments in order to define research projects for manufacturing or repairing the data-x-items domestically.

The official said repairing a VGV Controller, three electronic feed cards and manufacturing of the Siemens SGT 400 turbine coupling bolt, which is one of the state-of-the-art oil and gas turbines, were among SZOGPC’s achievements in the current year.

Furthermore, repairing all kinds of valves, electromotors, hydraulic pumps, transformers and manufacturing of all types of O-rings, washers, gear, cutting machinery, etc. are other data-x-items which have either been manufactured or repaired by domestic companies for SZOGPC.
