Iran Rising: Gas for Europe, Gas for India & Pakistan...Sanctions? Israel? No Problem

Iran Rising: Gas for Europe, Gas for India & Pakistan...Sanctions? Israel? No Problem

"The rise of Iran continues. And that rise was made abundantly clear during the 19th World Petroleum Congress in Madrid in early July.

A large, supremely confident Iranian delegation attended the triennial gathering that brings together energy officials from all over the world. The Iranian contingent in Madrid was many times larger than the one that attended the 18th World Petroleum Congress in Johannesburg in 2005. Then, the National Iranian Oil Company had a small booth in the rear of the exhibit hall in Sandton, consisting of a small sign, two tables, a handful of chairs, and a couple bowls of pistachio nuts. This year, the Iranians had a huge installation inside the sprawling Madrid Fair exhibition space near the airport. The N.I.O.C. had a glitzy raised platform of glass, plastic, and colorful placards that rivaled the scale and flash of those of other national oil companies, including China's Sinopec and the Kuwait Petroleum Company. Indeed, the Iranians exhibit was immediately next to (and almost exactly the same size as) Saudi Aramcos, the world's biggest oil producer."
