Iran’s attempts to enter into new oil and gas contracts failed because of problems with visas – NTV.ru

The Conference was to be held in London in late February, but it turned out that the representatives of Iranian companies do not have time to get a visa to this point, according to Reuters.

The vice-president of the National Iranian Oil Company NIOC Ali Cadore explained that the British embassy in Tehran until could issue visas to representatives of Iranian companies as visa service still does not work.

At the same time before the conference was postponed five times because of the uncertainty that the sanctions against Iran are lifted.

Now, Tehran intends to offer new contracts to foreign companies in an auction format that does not require the conduct of foreign conferences. The first bet will be asked to do in May.

Earlier this month, Iran has signed the first contract after the lifting of sanctions on the Russian oil company. LUKOIL has agreed to a contract worth $ 6 million for the exploration of oil fields in the south.
