“We are currently in the final negotiations for a project that should be a significant project. At this time, it is better not to disclose information about it…we will likely sign it in the next two or three weeks. It is a flowline for South Azadegan oil field,” Robert Jan Berg told the Tasnim news agency.
“We have been active in Iran for more than ten years. Iran’s market is certainly very attractive for us," he further said.
“One thing to say is that it is very attractive, but it is not the fastest market that we see here. You really have to establish yourself here and have to be patient in order to be able to work on good projects. However, we see Iran as a very important country for our products. Therefore, we take the patience and we take the time to do that," Berg said of the challenges in Iran's market.
“A lot has to do with the internal financing of the projects. There are many good projects but it normally takes quite long time to negotiate and to establish. These are challenges that we are here to address them.”
