Key speakers
His Excellency, Ambassador of I. R. of Iran in The Netherlands, Dr. A. R. Jahangiri His Excellency Ambassador Jahangiri opened the seminar by highlighting the extensive historic ties Iran and The Netherlands hold, and the unique promise of the upcoming period in post-sanctions Iran.
Dr. A. Zamani Nia, Deputy Minister of Oil in International Affairs, Ministry of Petroleum, I. R. of Iran Dr. Zamani Nia gave an elaborate introduction into the Oil and Gas sector policy, and upcoming project opportunities in Iran’s Oil and Gas market. According to Dr. Zamani Nia, Iran is planning to secure 185 billion dollars of investment in its oil industry during the Sixth Five-Year Development Plan by 2021.
“Stable domestic environment, effective and constructive foreign policies in international interactions, and Iran’s deep interest in observing international law to settle differences are the incentives for foreign investors in Iran,” said Dr. Zamani Nia.
Dr. Zamani Nia introduced massive volume of untapped oil and gas reservoirs, high standards of the industry’s technical and engineering operations, availability of expert human resources with relatively low fees, and low-cost oil extraction compared to other producers as Iranian oil industry’s additional advantages for foreign investors.
Ms. Wagenaar, Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs, Member Management Team Energy Market and Innovation department Ms. Wagenaar initiated her speech by emphasising the long history in bilateral relations The Netherlands and Iran hold.

Following the successful Iran Offshore Projects Outlook in
Wassenaar on 27/28 October 2015, CBC Oil&Gas joined
forces with two reputable firms - MvtZ and Philip Sidney - in
order to offer a full spectrum of services and expertise to foreign
business that intend to enter the Iranian oil and gas market.
Full service solution for contractors who intend to enter the Iranian oil and gas market
CBC Oil and Gas (“CBC”), Margetson Van ‘t Zelfde & Co (“MvtZ”) and Philip Sidney have teamed up to offer a full service solution to contractors and oil companies who intend to enter the Iranian oil and gas market
Easing of sanctions:Due to the easing of sanctions it is expected that as of the first quarter of 2016 there will be significantly more opportunities in Iran for foreign businesses in the oil and gas industry. Iran has been anticipating this development for some years now and has prepared a new contract model, known as the “Iran Petroleum Contract” or “IPC”.
Purpose of the IPC:The IPC is intended to be a model contract that covers the entire life cycle of a field. Its purposes are:• To attract International Oil Companies (IOC’s) to Iran; whereby • The IOC’s are expected to become the operator of the fields that they participate in and to invest in,
develop and operate those fields. • The IOC’s are expected to enter into long term
relationships with on the one hand the NIOC and on the other hand with local Iranian Contractors with whom they are intended to enter into a long term relationship and to transfer technology and know-how to;
• Contractors who enter into a form of cooperation with an IOC will also have the opportunity to finance
the development of field.
Consequences of the IPC for foreign ContractorsThe intention of the IPC that IOC’s form long term relationships with local contractors has as a consequence that foreign contractors who wish to be successful in Iran must work together with Iranian contractors.
What foreign contractors should be aware of when entering the Iranian oil and gas market:We recommend that foreign contractors who intend to work in Iran should:
• Identify a suitable Iranian partner and decide on the right form of cooperation with that partner e.g.,
a joint venture agreement, incorporated limited company or other form of partnership.
• Be aware of the sanctions and export controls that will still remain in place. Foreign contractors
must continue to comply with international law and need to know what is and what is not possible, what legal formalities have to be fulfilled, what permits are required etc.
• After the foreign contractor has entered into a form of cooperation with its Iranian partner, contract
negotiations with the IOC’s will have to be entered
-
into when bidding for work. A sound understanding of the risks of contracting in the offshore industry will be required.
CBC, Philip Sidney and MVtZ offer a full service solutionFollowing the successful Iran Offshore projects outlook summit in Wassenaar on 27/28 October 2015, CBC, MvtZ and Philip Sidney decided to combine their respective core competences and expertise to offer a full service solution to foreign business that intend to enter the Iranian oil and gas market.
