To name but a few examples, IR Iran’s Petroleum Museums and Documents Centre seeks to collect and display old oil industry equipment and pass this valuable heritage on to the next generation.”

The OPEC Bulletin, no 5-6/24, also has a report about Tehran’s Oil Show 2024 which was held in May in Tehran.
