On the eve of winter, the government is facing the test of fuel imbalance management; Appointing someone from outside the oil industry is a risk that the country cannot afford.

According to Mehr reporter, right on the eve of entering the cold season and in the conditions that were expected, the government accepted the heavy risk of changing the management of the oil ministry and put the management equations of fuel and especially gas in a difficult situation due to the sensitivities and challenges of winter fuel supply.

The fact is that the management of domestic gas supply, industries, power plants and petrochemical complexes, due to the shortage of more than 300 million cubic meters of gas this year and following the damage of some gas complexes in South Pars in the recent war, requires coordination and synergy of various industry sectors in the upstream and downstream areas of the oil industry on the one hand.

Managing the process of rebuilding the damaged refineries and speeding it up to compensate for part of the gas deficit this year by mobilizing the financial, technical and engineering facilities of the oil industry, speeding up the completion of development plans for gas production and supply in other fields, supply and distribution of liquid fuel for power plants and industries, and the implementation of strike plans to reduce the risks caused by outages or reduce gas pressure are among the most important tasks in this critical situation, the precise and optimal implementation of which depends on the presence of an experienced, familiar, experienced and reputable person. It is in the body of the oil industry.

Naturally, with the resignation of the former oil minister, widespread movements have begun to replace him at all levels and political currents, but it is necessary for the government, without political uproar and taking into account the serious conditions of the country and the upcoming months, and considering the challenges and critical issues that the oil industry is facing in recent years and the coming years, affected by the political and security situation, to refrain from selecting and introducing someone outside of the oil industry and unfamiliar to this industry, and not to accept and allow the risk of trial and error in this situation. The management stability of the oil industry should be continued for the transition from these critical conditions with the lowest cost. Without a doubt and considering the above, the future oil minister must be an operational, technical and strategic manager from within the oil industry. A manager who does not need to verify and reveal his capabilities and has proven efficiency, effectiveness and high degree of credibility in various levels of the oil industry.
