BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 6. The Iranian Oil Pipelines and Telecommunication Company (IOPTC) reported a saving of $815 million in the first 9 months of the current Iranian year (from March 21 through December 21, 2023), Trend reports.
The company avoided using over 4 million oil tankers with a capacity of 25,000 liters each to transport crude oil and oil products for 9 months. This resulted in saving 1.3 billion liters of diesel production.

In total, 131 billion liters of crude oil and petroleum products were transported within Iran over the Iranian year (March 21, 2022 through March 20, 2023), which is an increase of 2.2 percent compared to the previous year (March 21, 2021 through March 20, 2022).
