Yours today with a £100 saving, this detailed CGES study brings you expert analysis of this key country. It unravels the contradictions surrounding the Iranian oil and gas industry and analyses the high growth rates of domestic energy consumption and the wisdom of gas exports.

Background

Iran holds the world’s second largest reserves in conventional oil and natural gas. Yet the country has to import nearly 200 thousand barrels of gasoline per day and, in recent years, has experienced winter gas shortages. It is thought that Iran’s oil production will soon decline.

The pursuit of nuclear technology by Iran has prompted an international dispute, UN Security Council sanctions and fear of military conflict with the US. This could lead to disruption of oil supplies from Iran and crisis in the world oil market.

The study addresses these and other key questions including:

• Does Iran have sufficient natural gas for internal requirements and exports?
• Does Iran need nuclear power?
• Iranian political structure – who decides?
• What is the public sentiment among Iranians regarding the nuclear dispute?
• What could the nuclear stand-off mean for the oil market?
