Iran gains technology for refining heavy crude

Iran managed to gain the technology after India in the region for refining ultra heavy crude, obtained from southern Soroush and Norouz oilfields, MNA reported.

Public Relations Department at National Iranian Oil Products Refining and Distribution Company (NIOPRDC) said on Tuesday that the crude is regarded ultra heavy as it contains extreme amounts of sulfur and metal compounds and no refinery in the region other than India has the facilities for refining it.
