<div class="ExternalClass444B2787FDE446F990E4058E6028CD08"><div style="text-align:justify;">When esteemed colleagues suggested drafting a narrative to recount the achievements of the Iranian Gas Engineering & Development Company (IGEDC) in the year 1402 AH (which ended on March 20, 2024), I resolved to delve beyond the plethora of honorable successes of this year. Amongst the illustrious milestones, such as the progression in constructing Phase 2 of the Ilam Gas Refinery, the expansion of gas storage fields, the laying of hundreds of kilometers of pipelines, and the initiation of the National Smartization Project, I aimed to shed light on a less conspicuous yet profoundly significant aspect: the record-breaking simultaneous establishment of 13 gas pressure boosting stations.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">The significance of commemorating this milestone extends beyond its notable impact on the evolution of the gas industry's infrastructure, akin to the lifeblood coursing through Iran's veins. It underscores the efficacy of a fundamental development principle: long-term planning. This principle serves as a blueprint for the advancement of other sectors of the national industry. The 100% mastery of Iranian engineers in the construction, installation, and commissioning process of these stations, particularly the intricate turbo compressors, underscores Iran's resilience amidst one of the most stringent contemporary sanctions. Had it not been for the foresight of gas industry leaders in formulating long-term plans to transfer technology to domestic companies manufacturing turbo compressors, this strategic industry would have faced daunting challenges in energy transmission from production hubs to consumers in the vast gas network during sanction times, culminating in a doubling of gas transmission capacity would have seemed an insurmountable feat.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">To understand how Iran attained its current position over the decades, one must embark on a journey to the outset of this eventful path.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">1.<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>The 1970s: Foreign Monopoly and the Emergence of the "Nevsky" Brand</div><div style="text-align:justify;">Let us journey back to the 1960s when the construction of the first national gas pipeline to transport gas from the Bidboland Refinery to the former Soviet Union was prioritized. To prevent gas pressure loss along this lengthy route, the construction of 10 pressure boosting stations was planned, thereby introducing the concept of stations and their heart, the turbo compressor, into the country's industrial landscape. Given that gas was a nascent energy source in Iran, and Iran not only lacked the capacity to manufacture complex equipment but also refrained from producing even simple equipment at the time, it was natural that there was no domestic technology for manufacturing turbo compressors. The best option was to purchase the prominent brand of that time, the American General Electric turbines. However, the United States was not inclined to assist Iran in entering the international gas trade arena or perhaps aiding its competitor, the Soviet Union. Thus, the "Nevsky" brand was procured from the former Soviet Union and installed in the stations.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">Iranian Involvement in this Period: Iranians did not have a better role than service workers at this stage. Even the laborers and machine operators executing the foreign projects were foreigners. The coincidence of station commissioning with the January holiday season was a perennial issue during these years since foreign experts would even take holidays in winter and were unwilling to stay in Iran. There was a noticeable shortage of skilled Iranian labor during this period, and the initiative in installation and operation was in the hands of foreigners.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">2.<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>The Revolution and the Entry of Italian, German, and Ukrainian Brands</div><div style="text-align:justify;">Gradually, as the late 1970s approached, regional and international conditions were influenced by transformations. The former Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan led to its sanctions by the United States, causing it to lose its technological dependence on America. Similarly, Iran was sanctioned by the United States after the revolution, losing the possibility of importing turbines from this country and its allies. In such circumstances, the country's energy policymakers turned to Italy, and the "Nuovo Pignone" turbine, built under General Electric license, was introduced to Iran's industry in the mid-1990s.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">Later, in the late 1990s, the German brand known as "Man" and subsequently the Ukrainian turbine "Zorya" also experienced a presence in Iran's gas pressure boosting facilities.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">Iranian Involvement in this Period: Although the tireless efforts of domestic engineers in studying technical literature and gaining experience shifted the balance and fueled their progress, until the mid-1990s, foreigners still had the upper hand in technical meetings. This trend continued until the early 2000s.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">3.<span style="white-space:pre;"> </span>The 2000s: The Dawn of Domestic Brilliance</div><div style="text-align:justify;">Entering the 2000s, the country's energy decision-makers, envisioning the burgeoning gas production from the South Pars field and the acceleration in constructing national pipelines, took a momentous step. By signing a valuable and historic contract with Siemens Germany, they facilitated the transfer of turbine manufacturing technology to Iran, effectively indigenousating it.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">The domestication of 50 turbo compressor units was a forward-thinking measure, laying the initial brick for larger strides. Over the span of a decade, many critical components of these strategic devices were domestically manufactured.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">Later, additional contracts for 200 units were signed, paving the way for the indigenization of two renowned brands from Western Europe (Siemens) and Eastern Europe (Zorya). In recent years, domestically produced turbines have outperformed their branded counterparts and have proudly placed Iran's name alongside well-established companies from the United States, Germany, Italy, Japan, and Russia in the World Turbine Manufacturers Club; to the extent that with defined upgrades on these two brands, the current performance, efficiency, and productivity of the turbo compressors surpass those of the transferred technology turbines. Research activities have seamlessly merged with technology transfer to the extent that an institute for research and development has been established, and its products have been implemented in new turbine models.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">Iranian Involvement in this Period: Currently, not even a single foreign expert is seen in the process of construction, installation, and commissioning of gas pressure boosting facilities. The turbine is among the first equipment to arrive at the site, and its efficiency continuously improves. In the latest development, the "IGT25-HAS" turbine, designed for warm climate conditions, has been installed at Khormoj Station.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">We are grateful to God Almighty for the emergence of confidence in the country's industrialists, the creation of job opportunities for hundreds of elite and innovative engineers in the design, manufacturing, research, and development sectors of companies such as MAPNA and OTC and their subsidiaries, preventing currency outflow, and exporting equipment and sensitive components. These talents have enriched the treasury of achievements in the gas industry under the umbrella of strategic, long-term planning.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">The reality is that it is insufficient to document and recount the evolutionary journey that gas soldiers have undertaken over the decades, at the cost of their lifetimes, to unravel the intricacies of complex machinery and elevate Iran to the position of the world's seventh-largest turbine manufacturer.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">We are grateful to God for granting such achievements to the experts of this country in the face of harsh sanctions, as explicitly stated by the esteemed Leader of the Revolution, Jihad. They have served wholeheartedly in the service of the beloved and honorable people of our country. I must doubly thank the Almighty for granting me the opportunity to breathe and live among the distinguished scholars and enthusiasts of my beloved country, Iran. Undoubtedly, this eager gathering will ascend new summits set in this vast industry, based on the self-confidence derived from this great movement and with reliance on God.

<div class="ExternalClassADACEE53CD684D5783528BB3D8C3D447"><p>Smartening of gas consumption is a big plan that needs to be implemented with the integrated cooperation of different and related sectors.<br>The puzzle of this cooperation will start from the Iran Gas Engineering and Development Company and its scope will go up to the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC), the Ministry of Petroleum and higher & equal institutions.<br>This issue is one of the priority plans of the gas industry that will help to control abnormal consumption in the peak of cold and can optimize consumption by relying on regulatory mechanisms.<br>After storage, the issue of intelligent consumption is on the agenda of this company. In the smart consumption super project, it is supposed that the consumption of all major, non-major industries, as well as domestic and commercial, will become smart at the final point; In this way, at any moment, the consumer and the NIGC can know how much the consumption will be at each point, each region and each neighborhood, how much gas each subscriber consumes and at higher levels, artificial intelligence, better analyzes and outputs, can be added to this service.<br>One of the advantages of this plan is to help identify high-consumption subscribers during peak consumption, which can inform and warn them at any moment. Low consumption and high consumption include domestic, commercial and industrial customers.<br>This is a mega project and Iran Gas Engineering and Development Company is able to complete it in 4 years if there are no financial restrictions, of course with prioritization; For example, smartening the consumption of cold regions and industries that have a high consumption due to their geography, we will do this and then will go to the next priorities ...<br>Regarding the equipment and technology required to implement this project, I must explain that so far, we had ordinary, simple non-smart meters in the country. We are now in the study and design phase. It is a combination of import and domestic production. On the other hand, there are productive and capable companies that can answer our technical needs with skill.<br>If this happens, we will definitely not import a single meter, but if it is necessary to import, it will be on the condition of technology transfer; of course, we have already benefited from the discussion of technology transfer.<br>It means, for example, to import 100,000 meters, but we also have to transfer and internalize its technology, which, of course, the gas engineering and development company has a long history in the field of technology transfer and internalization. In fact, the knowledge of technology transfer has penetrated well in this company.<br>From the point of view of national interest and also with regard to security issues, the smart network, which includes telecommunications, information transfer, platform and artificial intelligence, will definitely be internal, and I must say that the ability to internalize in the country, especially in the field of IT, is very high.<br>In fact, we have the ability to produce information transmission media, analysis platform, and most importantly, artificial intelligence that is supposed to monitor and check information and intelligently manage this network.<br>Currently, manufacturing companies have been identified in the country. So, we have to rely on them. To this day, in the field of internalization, everything we wanted was "achieved to the best of our ability"...<br>The mechanism of smart gas distribution network is very complicated and, in this way, we have different options. We would like to use the fiber optic network that exists in the country, which has various technologies in this direction.<br>For example, the electricity challenge in the gas meter is a technical challenge which is so creativity and innovation. Today, all the proposed options for the start of intelligentization are on the table and have not yet reached the selection stage, but we hope to determine the specifications of the meter, media and platform at the end of this year and start implementing it.<br>Support for companies in localization and reverse engineering is from zero to 100. It means that we have or will create the capability of all matters from feasibility study, basic design, detailed design, purchase and supply of goods, implementation, installation and commissioning.<br>On the other hand, in the necessity of exporting services and technical knowledge, we must pay attention to the fact that when we buy a product from a company, we will be dependent on that company until we dispose of that product. Therefore, when we install an Iranian pump in a foreign country, a connection will be established between the manufacturer and the final consumer, which will spread the communication and knowledge of manufacturing goods.<br>The clear explanation of this talk is that when a country like Venezuela is sanctioned, its oil production goes from 4.5 million barrels to 700,000 to 800,000 barrels per day. But for example, our gas production increased from 400 million to 1000 million cubic meters per day after the embargo. <br>Our difference is that we cut off our dependencies and focused on empowering ourselves. If we can export our product and also install it in international facilities, they will automatically have no choice but to communicate with us, and on the other hand, domestic companies will also learn global communication, and it will make a valuable resume for them that they can easily participate in global tenders. <br>It means that a general ascension will happen. We are growing tall and growing, both consulting engineers, contractors, and etc., that's why we named it as a dream… It is very distant, difficult and unattainable goal, but it is feasible.<br><br>Reza Noshadi<br>Iran Gas Engineering and Development Company<br></p></div> |

The first phase of these fields has already been completed and now the second phase is underway. But the construction of the tank in Kashan salt dome is done for the first time in the oil and gas industry.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">Jokar explained about the development of Sarajeh field and said: The first phase of Sarajeh is now in operation and now we have about 1 billion cubic meters of annual storage capacity and 10 million cubic meters of daily harvesting capacity in this field.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">Executor of natural gas storage projects of Iran Gas Engineering and Development Company continued: With the implementation of the development phase, the storage capacity will reach 1.5 billion cubic meters and the daily harvesting capacity will reach 15 million cubic meters.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">He said about Kashan Salt Dome, its features and advantages: By performing geological and seismographic tests, we were able to identify the salt dome at a depth of 400 meters and determine its dimensions. A well was drilled in this dome and the desired tests were performed while sampling it. The purity of the salt dome and its strength have been calculated and the relevant consultant who has good experience in this field, has confirmed the suitability of this tank for storage operations.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">Jokar continued: The characteristic of salt domes is that we create very large cavities with a capacity of 300,000 cubic meters in the heart of the salt dome by washing water (water injection and water return), which these holes can withstand pressure up to 200 bar and can store about 60-70 million cubic meters of gas in this structure.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">By saying that such a complex operation is being carried out for the first time in Iran and this issue is very valuable, he stated: The difference between storage in salt domes and hydrocarbon tanks is that this type of structure, like gas tanks, does not have restrictions on harvesting (due to the prevention of possible damage to the tank), Therefore, at the time of peak consumption in the cold season, we can harvest a large amount from this type of reservoir.</div><div style="text-align:justify;">The manager of the storage plans explained at the end about the storage in a water tank, which is done for the first time in the Yurtsha reservoir in the city of Varamin near Tehran and said: Water tanks also have the same structure as hydrocarbon tanks, just with this difference that, there is water instead of gas. In fact, the way it works is that first a large volume of water is drained and then by injecting gas, the water in the tank is pushed back to create a storage space for the gas.</div><div style="text-align:justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align:justify;"><span>Public Relations of Iran Gas Engineering

project, the head of the Mohammadieh Qom-Parchin project stated: Aerial mapping
caused the process which normally took between 6 to 7 months, to be completed
in 2 weeks. By using this method, we have a high-quality scan with a high
resolution image of the project path, which is very useful in execution, and
instead of visiting the project site in person, these photos can be used. </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">The quality of the aerial photography is such that the
smallest features are captured in it, thus providing the best route for the
project. If the barriers to obtaining licenses and cooperation of relevant
institutions are removed, this successful experience can be extended to other
projects in the gas industry to see a significant improvement in time, cost and
quality of the routing process.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Fruitful and brilliant record of designing other main and
sub-pipelines in using technological methods</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Omidi, referring to the swampy part of the project route and
providing a technological solution to overcome this obstacle, said: In a part
of the project route "Mohammadieh Qom-Parchin" and in order to cross
the salt lake of Hoz Sultan, (Marah Wetland) to strengthen the bed The
combination of geogrid and geotextile was used, which resulted in high savings
in the discussion of routing, while in the past, traditional methods were used
in swampy routes, and despite spending large sums, due to lack of strength,
after a while, the route The construction was destroyed and led to the
repetition of operations in order to allow traffic during operation.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">He continued: "Geogrid materials help to reinforce the
soil so that the soil is stronger and the construction machinery of the project
can move on it." Routing using geogrid structures was done for the first
time in the Damavand project and in the design of other main and sub-pipelines,
and was a valuable experience for use in other projects.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">If new technology and technological solutions were not used,
the operator would have to revitalize the route every two or three years, but
now, with this innovative method, there is no need to revitalize the route in
swampy environments.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Record in project contracting</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">The head of Mohammadieh Qom-Parchin project mentioned
another highlight of this project, the completion of preparing its basic design
documents in 5 months and added: in general, the contracting and obtaining the
environmental permit was completed in about a year, which is a kind of It is a
record. This success came at a time when obtaining an environmental permit is a
time-consuming process, and postponing it until after the start of operations
could cause problems for the project.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">Fast supply and delivery of goods to the project site</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">He pointed out the importance of timely supply of goods in
launching the project according to the schedule: considering the necessary
arrangements for timely supply of 56-inch LBV pipes and valves and the

<div class="ExternalClass3F5279790500452890DFADE81790B813"><p style="text-align:justify;"></p><p style="text-align:justify;">Although Iran faced a reduction and lack of access to oil revenues in the face of sanctions, it was able to overcome these conditions as safely as possible by increasing exports of petroleum products and currency appreciation, which was made possible by the development of gas supply in the country.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">In fact, the development of gas supply with an investment of 40,000 billion tomans led to the connection of more than 95% of the country"s population to the gas network. Meanwhile, the National Iranian Gas Company, relying on a 2.5-fold increase in gas extraction from the South Pars gas field and a series of measures taken to develop the natural gas transmission and distribution network, succeeded in removing about 35,000 villages from natural gas. In this way, the coverage of gas supply in the whole country has already exceeded 95%.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">This figure shows that 95.1% of the country is directly covered by gas supply, which is a unique statistic not in the country but in the world. The value of this statistic is that the life of the gas industry in Iran is very short. In fact, the gas industry can be considered the fruit of the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1978, which began a new growth with the slogan of creating justice.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">This effort paid off and the accelerated process of gas supply during these years, went its way safely, and accordingly, about 35,000 villages and 1173 cities have gas so far, and accordingly, now 98.4% of the urban population and 84.6% rural population and in total, more than 95% of the total population of the country have benefited from natural gas.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Since about 75% of the country"s gas consumption is supplied from South Pars, the expansion of gas transmission capacity prevented the gas from being trapped in this joint field, and Iran was able to extract more gas than Qatar. This capacity also provided sustainable production from this joint field. This meant that although 95% of the country"s population is now covered by the gas network and the main goals for the development of this industry have been achieved, the gas supply revolution will continue, especially in the rural sector of the country. Also, during this period, 4,664 industrial units have been or will be supplied with gas.</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;">Hasan Montazer Torbati</p><p style="text-align:justify;">Managing Director of National Iranian Gas Company</p><p style="text-align:justify;"> </p><p style="text-align:justify;"><em>Public Relations </em><em>Department of Iranian Gas Engineering and Development Company</em></p><p style="text-align:justify;"><br></p></div> |

<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">The first piece, situated 24 km of the second nationwide pipeline and with a diversion from the direction, continues towards the loop pipeline. The major part of the direction is situated on the right-hand side of the loop pipeline and about three km adjacent to the route of the second nationwide pipeline. The piece is ended at km 63. The pipeline route passes through the slippery heights of Maddeh Kooh as well as the seasonal wild rivers as such that in some parts for carrying the pipeline use of side boom or specific machinery is urgently essential.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">The second piece has been implemented from km 160 to km 181, about 21 km, between the second<span>  </span>nationwide pipeline and the nationwide loop pipeline which is located in a severely dangerous area and very hard for operation as the transit of machinery between the gas conducting and rather old pipelines with high pressure threatened the hard working colleagues in different sections. However, the work was finished thanks to the directives issued by the Technical Inspection Department, to which we are all indebted. I sincerely thank all the colleagues in different sectors, especially those in the Technical Inspection and Safety departments which performed the required safety measures in this regard and hope that their continued cooperation in this project would safeguard health of the colleagues who are implementing heavy projects of the company. With regard to the speedy implementation of the project which has been demanded by the honorable officials, we hope that up to this coming winter we could accomplish such a grave task.</span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">This project which, due to the density of second, third and fourth gas pressure stations, has been implemented in Baak, a village in Yasouj, enjoys an outstanding feature with regard to the scarcity of enough space and tight neighborhood of the pipelines which are being administered separately. Therefore, any negligence in observing HSE directives could result in massive loss of lives in addition to expanded financial damage and, even more importantly, could affect gas conducting to all parts of the country.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">The respectful and painstaking colleagues are fully aware that observance of all HSE regulations in that region is of priority without any negligence.

With the implementation of this pipeline the last deprived province in the country, Sistan and Baluchestan, has been linked to the nationwide gas network and our fellow countrymen in this province would benefit from its blessing. Second, industries and power stations along this line, especially in southern Kerman Province and Bandar Abbas, would be fed by this pipeline. Furthermore, the possibility of exporting gas to Pakistan and subsequently to India and China would be provided in future through this pipeline and thus grounds would be prepared for the export of gas to over one third of the world population.<span>  </span>Therefore, not only the share of our country in the world energy basket would be increased, Iran’s role in international equations would also become further noticeable. </span></p>

He continues by saying: </strong>“Any director expecting his employees to work should pay attention to their spirits and establish friendly relations with them as far as principles of communication allow. They must try to meet their demands and while maintaining the hierarchy, give them room. I have tried to allow project managers to do their job and help them when a problem arises. We must build confidence. It cannot be given but should be taken. Therefore, when an employee does his job correctly, his superior has to meet his/her demands.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">A: Due to the long distance the gas has to travel through the pipeline, its pressure falls. Therefore, in view of hydraulic design of the pipeline, there should be compression stations every 110-130 km in order to increase gas pressure and inject it back into the same pipeline. Turbo-compressors are the main components of gas compression stations because all other things are done to enable turbo-compressors do their job. There are many sections at a compression station which include separation filters, power cables, instruments, control buildings, switch room, battery building, generator, maintenance buildings and sometimes a hostel.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';">A: There are about 55 gas compression stations across the country, 50 percent of which has been designed and built after 2003. One of the most important things done from 2003 onward has been annual launch of three, seven, four… stations and this has been a major achievement for the Iranian gas industry. The graph clearly shows the above fact.</span></p>

It was supposed to take 24 hours, but we returned to Tehran after 31 days. I thought that I was needed there to prevent any delay in the project. Working at a temperature of minus 15-27 degrees Centigrade along with all contractors’ personnel, consultants, foreign workers and other colleagues up to the midnight is not a memory to be easily forgotten. We were only off the work on Ashura. God helped us to launch Marand stations to keep gas exports up. Everybody was content and we did not feel tired.</span></p>

After going through interviews (professional and psychological as well as explanation of work conditions, scrutinizing abilities of the applicants as well as studying their interest and suitability of their academic degrees to our job) and after the managing director gives his viewpoint, their posts are communicated to the National Iranian Gas Company and they are employed on the basis of a contract after making sure about authenticity of their degree and medical tests.

<p align="justify"> </p>
<p align="justify">As for planning, in view of the long-term goals set by the 20-Year Vision Plan and in line with long-term human resources strategies of the oil industry, necessary steps are taken. Manpower management is, in fact, a tool for management of human resources. Therefore, on the basis of performance reports of the personnel, conditions for obtaining posts as well as the needs of the company, posts are assigned to the employees. Also, appointments and agreement to promotions are done in view of personal competencies of every individual.”</p>
<p align="justify">Asked about manpower training, Mr. Moshtaqi noted, “Since education is a complicated process and needs good planning to be effective, we need to follow a proper process in education. Therefore, in line with strategic statement for educational performance, empowerment, effectiveness, unification of activities, processes and standards and reduction of financial and human waste, we formulate plans for every employee on the basis of their activities and occupational preferences and so plans are carried out according to occupational education standards to increase skills, knowledge and organizational abilities of the employees. Also, continued education is done by holding conferences and seminars in the course of the year as the need arises.”</p>
<p align="justify">“The education is divided into general, managerial (general, project), technical and specialized, cultural, safety, health, and environment categories. The important point is the issue of assessment. We take ISO 15001 as standard for assessment in order to find about satisfaction of our employees about educational activities and to base further education on them.”</p>
<p align="justify">Explaining about inauguration of a new library at the Gas Engineering and Development Company in 2008, he added, “Due to the need for using up-to-date scientific resources in order to increase the knowledge of our personnel and since there were old books at the library, we decided to upgrade our library and provide digital copies of books to make them available on our intranet. That system will be launched in a month to be used by our personnel both inside and outside the company.”</p>
<p align="justify">The official further noted that due to extensive contacts between manpower and administration, a large part of the activities of participation quality and productivity system secretariat, are done through this department and they have established specialized working groups on productivity and meritocracy.</p>
<p align="justify">Head of the manpower planning, procurement and education department said shortage of personnel was the main problem with his department, adding, “We have only three people working for us and since they have a lot to do and because of high number of company staff, our job is difficult, but we have done our best to update our plans.”</p>
<p align="justify">He stated that manpower was the most important factor for correcting consumption pattern, saying, “If our manpower is adequately skillful and motivated, it would be able to gain enough knowledge through education and increase productivity as a prelude to correction of consumption model.”</p>

He is now official in charge of gas transmission pipelines at the Gas Engineering and Development Company. The following is text of his interview with the Public Relations Department on May 9, 2009.</span></p><span lang="FA" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Tahoma;">
<p class="MsoNormal" dir="ltr" style="text-justify:kashida;margin:0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align:left;"><br>Q: Please explain about your employment and responsibilities?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" dir="ltr" style="text-justify:kashida;margin:0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align:left;"><br>A: I started with the National Iranian Gas Company in 1982 and was appointed design engineer for gas pipelines at the Engineering and Technical Services Department of the National Iranian Gas Company. After beginning my work, I embarked on collecting technical information, international standards, and existing technical specifications for my specialized task which could have been applied to various projects. Using gas consumption report which was presented by the planning department of the National Iranian Gas Company, I prepared a preliminary report and also fulfilled my design, engineering, and project control duties at the Engineering and Technical Services Department. A few projects were designed up to 1985 and due to the conditions in those years and budget deficit, no new gas transmission projects were designed. At that time, I also worked as the engineer in building shelters for schools of Tehran districts 13 and 14, which was to be implemented by the National Iranian Gas Company. When the Iraqi imposed war was near the end in 1988, I worked with the engineering department of the National Iranian Gas Company as a project controller before working as head of the engineering services for pipeline projects. Finally, as the organizational chart changed, I was appointed as official in charge of gas transmission pipelines project engineering before being appointed the official in charge of the whole project in 2008.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" dir="ltr" style="text-justify:kashida;margin:0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align:left;"><br>Q: What differences are there between the situation of gas transmission pipelines before and after the Islamic Revolution?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" dir="ltr" style="text-justify:kashida;margin:0cm 0cm 0pt;text-align:left;"><br>A: Before the Islamic Revolution (1979), all gas transmission projects were designed by foreign companies. After the Islamic Revolution as gas exports were cut and in view of the government’s policy to develop gas transmission pipelines, designing gas pipelines began at the engineering and technical services department and all engineering services were done by domestic personnel. In view of the existing experiences, the number of projects notified to us averaged 250 km up to 1991. Afterwards, the figure rose to about 12 projects or 1,500 km per year (1998-99). A major development in those years, which was made possible through support of the then head of the engineering and technical services, the late Ahmad Yousefi, was to design the 3rd gas trunk line with a diameter of 56 inches and this became a prelude to design all kinds of gas transmission pipelines in the country at any diameter.<br>Q: What changes have been made in the structure of the National Iranian Gas Company in view of the general principles of Article 44 of the Constitution for privatization?<br>A: Following the emphasis put on privatization, the National Iranian Gas Company changed its organizational chart. As a result, project design and engineering has been given to EPC consultants and contractors with the National Iranian Gas Company being mostly involved with management and supervision. Up to that time, all design activities were done by company specialists. Therefore, responsibility of officials in charge of the Gas Engineering and Development Company projects is to prepare complete engineering papers in cooperation and coordination with consultant and contractor companies in order to facilitate their activities and enable them implement more projects for development of gas pipelines in line with the 20-Year Vision Plan.<br>Q: Please explain about ongoing and future gas transmission pipeline projects?<br>A: The most important project for gas transmission underway is continuation of the 10th trunk line whose contractor is Khatam-ol-Anbia Headquarters and it is a PC project. The contract in addition to valves and pipes is worth about 4,000 billion rials and is to be implemented in 18 months. Other projects include a gas transmission pipeline to Urmia Industrial Park, which is 25 km of 30 inch pipeline, changing about 44 km of 56 inch second trunk line, telecommunication project of the 3rd Azarbaijan pipeline and gas compression station of Pataveh. They are going through various stages from obtaining permits to price quotes from contractors and preparation of tender bid papers.<br><strong>Public Relations Department of Gas Engineering and Development Company<br></p></strong></span></div></div> |

Operations along the line had been already started on October 9, 2008.<br>The 56” gas pipeline is capable of daily transmission of 110 million cu. m. of gas and means to take sweet gas from phases 9 and 10 of South Pars gas field in Assaluyeh to Bidboland gas refinery. It passes through Bushehr provincial cities such as Kangan, Khormoj, Borazjan, Bushehr, Deilam, and Genaveh to end in Sardasht city in Khuzestan province when it will be connected to the 1st trunk line at the site of Bidboland 1 refinery.<br>The line is 492 km long and has 4 pig sending and receiving stations, 17 valves along the way and 11 cathodic protection stations. It has cost about 7,000 billion rials. Construction operations started in the second half of 2005 and ended in July 2008.<br>The inaugural ceremony, which was held at the conference hall of South Pars Special Economic Zone, was attended by members of board of directors of the National Iranian Gas Company and the Gas Engineering and Development Company; Mr. Osouli, head of Ministry of Petroleum’s security; Dr. Razavi, managing director of South Pars Special Economic Zone; Dr. Vakili, managing director of Pars Oil and Gas Company; and Saremi, managing director of South Pars Gas Refining Complex.

By injecting gas into Semnan–Shahroud (170 km), Shahroud– Meiamei (75 km) and Meiamei–Dasht (107 km) extensions and connecting the end of Meiamei–Dasht extension to 30” Sarakhs–Neka pipeline, measures have been taken to remove gas shortage in Semnan and Golestan provinces.<br>At present, construction of 105 km Parchin–Semnan extension is important for completion of construction of the 2nd north and northeast pipeline and its connection to the 5th Tehran pipeline as the main source of gas for the line. In view of the existing projects and follow-ups, all pipes needed for the project have been procured.<br>The relevant contractor has mobilized a number of working groups to speed up construction and, thus far, all welding for 42 km of the line has been finished and in view of the progress rate, construction of this section of the line is hoped to be finished in the near future.<br>Related photos<br></font><strong><font size="2">Public Relations Department of Gas Engineering and Development Company<br></font></strong>

He holds an MBA from the University of Wollongong, Australia, and was employed by the National Iranian Gas Company in 1982. Soon after his employment he was appointed official in charge of gas supply to Tehran province due to his experiences in Ahvaz steel industries and Masjed Soleiman projects. His other posts include official in charge of liquid gas and gas tanks projects, emergency project of Bandar Abbas, Sarkhoun gas refinery project, official in charge of implementation and supervision over projects and finally, official in charge of gas compression stations project (in 2003). He has also been in charge of construction of Sarkhoun gas refinery, the first totally Iranian gas refinery, which was inaugurated in 1996. He holds a record for annual gas transmission over 1,000 km.<br>Mer'ati said about gas compression stations project that a total of 9 stations had been made operational from 1992 to 2002. “However, from 2003, when I was appointed the official in charge of the project, I could remove problems and standardize instructions which greatly helped implement the project. As a result four stations were made operational in 2003, three stations in 2004, three stations in 2005, seven stations in 2006, four stations in 2007, and three stations this year. It means that an average of five stations have been made operational per year.”<br>As for problems on the way of building stations, the official said, “The liquidity problem is common for all the National Iranian Gas Company projects, but our major problem was inadequacy of specialized manpower which is directly related to training. The National Iranian Gas Company has made more investment on rapid implementation of projects and education combined with training, are two major factors which have been relatively marginalized.” He recommended that officials of the National Iranian Gas Company should think about the years ahead when experienced personnel will be retired and should pay more attention to education of skilled manpower.<br><strong>Public Relations Department of Gas Engineering and Development Company </strong><br></font></div></div></div> |

<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">According to the Public Relations Department of Iranian Gas Engineering and Development Company, the 2<sup>nd</sup> phase of a gas transfer pipeline from Turkmenistan to Iran was inaugurated by the presidents of the two countries on Sunday, Nov. 28.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">The 2<sup>nd</sup> phase of the 2<sup>nd</sup> trunkline (North & Northeast) is a 380- kilometer long pipeline with a diameter of 48 inches which extends from Mayami in the north to Sangbast in Iran’s Mazandaran Province. This pipeline has the capacity to transport 58 million cubic meters of gas per day. The 2<sup>nd</sup> phase of the 2<sup>nd</sup> pipeline (frm Turkmenistan) extends from Shahid Hasheminejad Refinery to Sangbast with a length of 120 km and a diameter of 48 inches as well as a daily capacity of 45 million cubic meters. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">The 1059-km long North & Northeast gas pipeline comprises two huge projects: One is located within Parchin – Mayami – Sangbast line and the other known as Turkmenistan-Iran 2<sup>nd</sup> gas trunkline which extends from Sarakhs border to Sangbast.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">In addition to increasing Iran’s gas export capacity from northwestern regions to Europe, the project will meet gas shortage and future demand in the northeast regions of the country, particularly in the provinces of Semnan, Mazandaran, Golestan, Razavi Khorassan, North Khorassan, and South Khorassan within the next 20 years.</span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">This project has been proudly implemented thanks to the ceaseless efforts of the gas industry managers and experts and by relying on capabilities of over 1,000 specialists under the most difficult climatic conditions and by going through numerous natural hurdles within a period of less than one month. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">It is to be noted that the 1<sup>st</sup> phase of the North & Northeast gas trunkline extending from Parchin to Mayami with a length of 418 km and from Mayami to Dasht with a length of 106 km; as well as 1<sup>st</sup> phase of Turkmenistan-Iran Gas Line within Shahid Hasheminejad Refinery to Sarakahs with a length of 35 km, were commissioned last year.</span></p>

He was employed in 1981 after Iranian universities were temporarily closed down and worked with a private company for four years. Then, he worked with the audit department of the National Industrial Organization for two years until he was employed by the National Iranian Gas Company in 1987.</span></span></p><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">

<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">“At that time, there was no goods and purchases accountancy unit and due to my track record, I started to work with the department in charge of foreign purchases or foreign orders. Then, in 1989, I was appointed in charge of accountancy unit for foreign purchases and later, I was promoted to head that unit. During that period I also held other posts like representative of the company’s managing director in tender bids commission, representative of finance department in three-member committee in charge of transportation of foreign cargoes and member of finance committee (foreign exchange facilities). After changes in the company in 2003, I was transferred to the engineering department and started to work as head of goods accounting bureau,” he said.</span></p><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">He added, “More changes came in 2005 when Gas Engineering and Development Company was established and I was appointed as member of tender bids commission of the new company while retaining my former posts.”</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">Asked about his duties, Mr. Tarnian said, “Goods accounting is, in fact, in charge of finance and payments of a company because engineering companies implement many projects most of which are national or civil and financial turnover is very high.”</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">He continued, “For example, the current year’s budget of Gas Engineering and Development Company is about 44,000 billion rials. About 70 percent of every project pertains to procurement and other costs. Therefore, about 30 billion rials of the above figure is related to goods accounting. This figure is for purchasing goods for the company and related papers and documents should be controlled by goods accounting unit after the money is paid.”</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">The official then divided purchases into domestic and foreign ones and noted that in view of the type of goods needed by the company, which should be of suitable standards, and since most sellers produce exclusive goods for Gas Engineering and Development Company, those standards should be observed. </span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">“At present, 60-70 percent of goods needed by the company are supplied by domestic producers and the rest which cannot be produced in the country is bought overseas. Iranian manufacturers are being helped by the company to indigenize the latter part of goods and this has reduced foreign purchases compared to past years,” he said.</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">Mr. Tarnian then noted that goods accounting was also divided into three categories: domestic purchase accounting, foreign purchase accounting and warehouse accounting. He added that goods accounting has two distinct parts which are procurement and operations.</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">“At present, there are 10,000 articles of goods in the company’s warehouses which should be distributed among various projects in the course of the year or remain at the warehouse. We carry out both domestic and foreign purchase. A major issue with foreign purchases is good knowledge of international regulations which is not a problem in domestic purchases. Major steps taken for a domestic purchase include holding a tender bid, taking guarantees from sellers and recording them at goods accounting unit, delivering guarantees to treasury unit, paying dues to sellers in checks, receiving goods from sellers, issuing purchase settlement papers, delivering goods to the warehouse, and finally, issuing of papers showing delivery of goods to applicants,” he said.</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">He added that since most foreign sellers have no offices in Iran, they receive price of their products through documentary credits and this is a long process.</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">“To control turnover of goods in the company, there is a single procedure through the whole system of the Ministry of Petroleum according to which when a commodity enters the company, its amount or place of keeping and all transfer operations are registered. A person who works with goods accounting unit should have good command of financial as well as commercial issues and they should be also well versed about the above system,” he said.</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">Tarnian, who has eight officially employed, and three contractual staffers, mentioned shortage of specialized manpower as a major problem, adding, “People who are working here will be out of service in 5-6 years from now and absence of new specialized manpower and reliance on experimental learning are major problems threatening our job.”</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">The official then noted that shortage of liquidity was another problem because if payments to manufacturers and sellers were made regular, there would be no problem for procurement of goods and projects would not suffer from shortage of necessary equipment.</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">Tarnian stated that the goods accounting unit was facing no problem in doing its job, but if credits for various projects are not supplied on time, there would be a major problem.</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">“The financial and trade department of the company are highly capable of procuring goods. Therefore, if money is provided on time, procurement will be done ahead of schedule,” he said.</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">Tarnian also maintains that human relations are the best type of relations between bosses and their subordinates and believes that if relations were based on mutual respect, the whole process of a job would be smoother.</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">“Of course, those relations should be defined within a clear administrative framework. In addition to knowing about abilities of an employee, we must know about their problems in order to support them. Official relations between employees and their bosses may be efficient in short term, but it will certainly fail in the long run,” he said.</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">Head of the goods accounting unit of the Gas Engineering and Development Company also noted that correction of consumption model is about the whole life and should not be confined to a single year.</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">“In addition to correct consumption of water, power and energy, we must be careful about doing our job and making the most of time,” he said.</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">Tarnian concluded by saying that the main mark given to every person should be given by God.</span></p>
<p style="text-justify:kashida;text-align:justify;line-height:normal;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">“Order and correct management will give birth to efficiency. I hope we would be able to pull off huge national projects through empathy and good workmanship,” he said.</span></span></span></span></p>

I formulated sample documents for one-article EPC contracts for the first time in history of the Iranian oil and gas industry and presented it to the Gas Engineering and Development Company. In 2008, I took charge of the archives of gas transmission pipeline designs. I worked out a system for archives and technical documents as well as tender bid documents without extra cost. The system was welcomed for the fifth and sixth trunkline projects and concerned officials called for the documentation of the projects in the system.”</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">He considers speed in implementing projects as the most important advantage of the system and added</span></b><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Arial','sans-serif';font-size:10pt;">, “In this kind of archives letters are not copied and security of letters and documents are protected.

Those who propose such plans should be consulted in person and if their plans were logical, they should take charge of implementing them in order to pave the way for encouragement of creative employees. For example, good plans for correcting consumption pattern in energy sectors, especially in oil, gas and petrochemical industries, have been put on the website of the Gas Engineering and Development Company which can be implemented by personnel of the company and I am ready to volunteer for this purpose.”</span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><font size="3">He was born in the city of Astara in August 1951. He wet to the primary school in the same city and received his high school diploma from Hakim Nezami High School, which stood among the five top high schools in the country. After completing his military service, he served eight months in the field of education and later departed for the Philippines to further his studies in civil engineering. After spending three and a half years there and getting married to a Filipino, he returned to the country in May 1983 and upon request of Ardebil representatives he was employed by the National Iranian Gas Company. He was assigned as a construction supervisor in the north- west project which covered areas such as Delijan to Hamedan, Lakan in (Rasht) to Neka, Astara to Tabriz in the first phase. The second phase would extend from Tabriz to Urmiya. But, given that the project was not launched due to certain reasons, he resigned and returned to his city, Astara, and started teaching English language in one of the local high schools. Later, upon the request of the then management, he once again returned to the project but since the north-west project had not become operational then, he was commissioned to Sarakhs-Neka project. After a period of 18 months there, the north-west project came on stream and in December 1985 Astara-Ardebil project was launched.</font></span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><font size="3">Following separation of north, northwest and west projects of the country, he chose northwest project and started his activities in such positions as resident supervisor, senior pipeline supervisor and pipeline construction official of the project.</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><font size="3">The above-mentioned data constitute professional background of Engineer Mir-Hossein Mousavi who, since the last year, was officially appointed the chairman of construction and installation project of gas pipelines of the Gas Engineering and Development Company of Iran.</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><font size="3">Elaborating on the nature of his profession, he said operation of the transfer project is such that when the direction of transfer pipelines becomes definitely clear and is reported to the contractor, the pipeline route would be constructed in accordance with the instructions stipulated in the contract and parallel with it digging operations for the canals would be started. The pipelines manufactured for the project would be transported and after welding and putting insulators on welded points, pipes would be buried inside the canals.</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><font size="3">Mousavi further remarked that the project is in need of a supervisory management which is conducted on daily, weekly and monthly bases according to the schedule. In case such a management is conducted in the site, the future process would always be considered and supplies of the project, in terms of the required tools, would be prepared on time and the project would be completed on the right date.</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><font size="3">Pointing to the fact that two new projects are to be launched, the gas company official termed the projects as the 30-inch Urmiya-Noshin Shahr Industrial Township Project which is under implementation, pumping station for gaseous fluids through construction of a 10-inch pipeline which conducts fluids to Taheri Port tanks, implementation of the 10<sup>th</sup> nationwide gas pipeline project, changing parts of the second nationwide pipeline for which primary studies have been made for choosing the contractor and after technical evaluation and receiving report from the relevant commission, the project would be launched. He also cited the project for supporting Petaveh high pressure station for which evaluation of the contractor has been completed and, “we are waiting to receive reports by the commission.”</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><font size="3">According to him, the number of projects has drastically dropped this year as compared to the past to the extent that in previous years 15 projects were under implementation but now the figure has been squeezed to two.</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><font size="3">Pointing to the means for establishing connection between the head and the staff, Mousavi said in the first stage the head of that department should try to create emotional ties and be informed of sufferings and problems of his staff in order to make efforts for their solution. If such relations are developed, not only the entire department would feel unified but would feel responsible towards accomplishing the job they have been assigned to. He said members of the staff are also expected to finish their work on time and in case they face some problems they should report it so that it would be solved with the help of others.</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><font size="3">The head of the project for construction and installation of gas pipelines further opined on the reform of the consumption pattern at work and said as all should know, reform of consumption pattern does not imply no consumption but rather refers to sound consumption. “Since the beginning of the current year, we have tried to examine and then implement optimal consumption in our affairs through holding several sessions.” For example, if projects of a number of supervisors are in the same direction, they would go on a single car to save fuel. Furthermore, if implementation of a project which imposes heavy costs is avoided and if purchases of contractors take place on time and therefore no delay is caused in the implementation of a project, the consumption pattern is reformed somehow.</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><font size="3">Recalling his past professional memories, Engineer Mousavi said when it was decided to implement Astara-Ardebil pipeline which was among one of the most important projects in the country, all foreign engineers and publications believed that the project could not be carried out and it should be implemented by engineers who worked in Himalaya. But, when the project was accomplished by potential Iranian experts and gas was flown in the pipeline, “tears of happiness dropped on my cheeks and I thanked God for the success of our efforts.”</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><font size="3">Engineer Mousavi who after 30 years of service is very much interested in getting retired, in reply to a question that if he had not joined the gas company what would he had chosen, said: “Had I not joined the gas company, I would have launch a company relevant to my course of study and would continue my activities there.”</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><font size="3">Mousavi who had not a chance to experience the growing up of her four daughters, then commented on efforts made by his wife for training the kids and said: “When my wife came to Iran she neither knew Persian language nor the Azari dialect. But, thanks to her endeavors simultaneously with the kids going to school, she learnt Persian language and culture. My absence from home was to the extent that my daughters would ask their mother what type of a father they had that they could not see him at all? However, my wife could patiently and alone fill in the gap of my presence as such that my kids would not be hurt.”</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><font size="3">He expressed hope that no one would experience any hardship in life and prayed for the good health and prosperity of his wife and daughters.</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';"><font size="3">As for his last comment, Engineer Mousavi expected the officials to pay special attention to those working at site.</font></span></p>

We better collect their viewpoints on this issue in order to increase productivity of the company.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">Another issue is the rapid pace of progress in such fields of science as electricity and information technology and we must be familiar with what we need. We can avail of high potential of academic centers and move toward ultimate goal of the company which is to increase quality of technical knowhow and underway projects of the company. Familiarity of personnel with new software and standards is another very important issue and should receive due attention.”</span></p>

We also drew on the legal viewpoints of our company and those of the National Iranian Oil Company and the new instructions not only prevent various interpretations of the law, but have also sped up our works and are not the basis of activities of the Tender Bids Commission.”<br>He underlined the policies adopted by the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran to support domestic producers, adding, “During the past 3-4 years special attention has been paid to local production of various items needed by the gas industry as a result of technology transfer. Although the cost has been sometimes double the cost of signing contracts with foreign companies, but I believe that this policy should be continued in order to increase abilities of domestic producers and reduce our dependence on other countries.”<br>Emphasizing on the need to end some monopolies on products which are now produced by a single company, head of the Gas Engineering and Development Company’s Tender Bids Commission expressed hope that through special attention to domestic production, problems will be gradually resolved and all sectors will progress.</p>

He was employed by the National Iranian Gas Company in 1989.

<p align="justify"><br>Asked about activities of the Legal Affairs Department, Eshaq Mohammadi noted that the main duty of the department was land acquisition for implementation of gas projects. “It means that when a project is set out, the legal affairs takes action as the first group for acquisition of land and implementation of the project.”<br>He noted that land acquisition as well as formulating contracts and providing legal consultations are the main duties of the Legal Affairs Department. <br>“The most arduous task of the department is land acquisition because our staff should travel to cold and hot regions and are sometimes exposed to threats from landlords,” he added.<br>Mohammadi noted that there are no fixed property rights in Iran and “therefore, we must also account for landlords, tenants, commissions in charge of changing application of lands, environment departments, forestry and so on.”<br>“In many projects like road construction as well as power and telephone projects, landlords are willing for the projects to be implemented in the shortest possible time because when such projects are finished, surrounding lands gain in value. However, the opposite is true about gas projects, that is, at least, for 250 meters on every side of gas pipelines, people cannot start construction and cannot do anything in the surrounding land,” he said.<br>Head of the Legal Affairs Department of the Gas Engineering and Development Company then explained about the method of land acquisition, saying, “Pricing is mostly done by boards of experts comprising three members as representing three sides. One representative from the landlords, one representative from the company, and one member chosen through mutual agreement. During the past three years of my work in this department of the Gas Engineering and Development Company, we have not reached any critical point yet and in 98 percent of the projects, there has been no standstill due to problem with land acquisition.”<br>Explaining about integrity of legal affairs’ staff, he said, “We have 35 employees who are working on different projects. They include three people who are working on north and northeast pipeline project, 2 people who are working on Qazvin-Rasht pipeline project, 2 people who work on the 5th Saveh-Tehran project, one person working on Parsian refinery, three people working on Pol-e Kalleh projects and so on.”<br>Mohammadi concluded by saying that the department also follows up on all minor and major cases filed with judicial authorities.<br>“As for legal consultation, this department takes care of all legal problems facing management and executive sections. All contracts to be signed by the company should be first confirmed by this department before being distributed for the arrangement of tender bids. Also, the legal consultation is, in fact, embodiment of the principle which says “prevention takes precedence over treatment.”</font></p>

It should be noted that building a suitable culture will be very helpful in this regard. After institutionalizing that culture, we could hope that all social classes would understand the need to save on energy. Meanwhile, it should be noted that high consumption of energy is not limited to households, but it is also a problem in oil and gas facilities which avail of modern technology, so that, in a paper I wrote, I quoted the esteemed head of the Ministry of Petroleum’s planning department that a daily total of 43 million cu. m.

In prime of youth after the beginning of the imposed war with Iraq, I went to the warfronts in 1981 and after 15 days, I was injured and became a war disabled. After high school and obtaining my diploma in auto mechanics, I was employed by the National Iranian Gas Company as a specialist in water, power, and steam at Shahid Hasheminejad Refinery in 1984. In 1991, I graduated from an accountancy course of the Islamic Azad University, Mashhad branch. After a year, I was transferred to the gas supply District 4. Due to disability, I was exempted from mechanical work and was transferred to the finance department.</span></p>

I was then transferred from Mashhad to Tehran and started to work as a bookkeeping expert and accountant with the National Iranian Gas Company. I have also worked as deputy director of Finance and Maintenance Department and member of board of directors of Semnan Province Gas Company for three years, as project control manager with the Tehran Province Gas Company for eight months, as director of the Finance Department of the National Iranian Oil Engineering and Construction Company, and finally as head of the Public Accounting Department of the Gas Engineering and Development Co.”</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:9pt">The above is the résumé of Abolfazl Ashrafi, head of the Public Accounting Department of the Gas Engineering and Development Company. He considers himself a diligent person and maintains that human beings should endeavor toward realization of their goals as long as they are breathing.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:9pt">Explaining about his careers, he says, “The Financial Management Department has been made up of such subsidiaries as developmental projects accounting, commodity accounting, budget accounting, control, credits, expenses, and general accounting. General accounting, in turn, consists of treasury accounting, property accounting, salaries and wages accounting, documents accounting, expenses, current contracts, and notifications accounting and is responsible for all current tasks of the company."</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:9pt">Mr. Ashrafi, head of the Accounting Department, also maintains that bookkeeping and final accounting are other duties of his department, adding, “Our department is mostly in contact with clientele. In fact, all the affairs related to receiving or paying money through treasury and payment of current expenses are among duties of this department.”</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:9pt">He noted that financial expertise is a requirement for any managing director and could be one of the most important factors behind profitability of a company.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:9pt">Ashrafi added, “If instead of engineering expertise, a managing director has financial expertise, he would be able to stop losses and increase productivity and quality of the work.”</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:9pt">He also talked about his willingness to implement specific projects after his retirement, adding, “For certain reasons, I would like to retire early and engage in activities profitable to the public. If financially well-off, I would gather a group of people to both create jobs and serve my country.”</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:9pt">Ashrafi maintains that social, economic, and cultural security and eradication of unemployment are his aspirations. Explaining about correction of consumption pattern, he says, “Our social culture should be corrected first because there are surplus costs in our lives which strain the country’s resources. We must spend money as the need arises.”</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:9pt">“When I was working with District 4 in Mashhad, there was a case of embezzlement. We implemented a method. If a subscriber intended to file a case, they should have gone through a long procedure and met many people. Therefore, I proposed to correct that in order to save in time. It was a difficult task to get my boss to do that. However, it happened and the output increased, but one year later, I was transferred and the old methods was reintroduced,” he says.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:9pt">Asked about the relationship between the boss and subordinates, Mr. Ashrafi noted, “I believe that if a boss puts himself in his subordinate’s position, he/she would heed their demands and the relationship would become friendly. In that case, subordinates would be able to talk freely about their problems and this will greatly facilitate the work.”</span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 10pt" class=MsoNormal><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Tahoma','sans-serif';font-size:9pt">Mr. Ashrafi has a daughter and a son and is interested in swimming, mountain climbing, and volleyball. As the last word, he wishes peace and calm for all.</span></p>

<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">After employment in the National Iranian Gas Company, he started to work in contracts department.

<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">Accepting us with exemplary patience, he started to talk about contracts affairs by saying, “Gas Engineering and Development Company consists of different departments with different duties. One department focuses on projects which is the frontline of executive activities in the company. Other departments specialize in contracts affairs, legal affairs, HSEQ affairs and other fields which support projects. The main duty of contracts affairs is to formulate necessary contracts, study and approve final statements, and study and approve tender bid papers and other related activities.”</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">Tavakkol Moqaddam also noted that the contracts affairs department was the first body at the National Iranian Gas Company which obtained ISO 9001:2000 certificate before 2003. High quality of projects and optimization of activities are major components of the certificate and the department is still working along the same lines.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">He added that the contracts affairs department was a powerful department which worked within the framework of laws and regulations concerning tender bids, the bylaw of oil industry transactions and other instruments which are notified by the Ministry of Petroleum. It also follows suit with internal circulars of the National Iranian Gas Company and the Gas Engineering and Development Company.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">“The contracts affairs department has representatives in all projects which are in charge of contractual services and the department monitors projects though them.

<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">Tavakkol Moqaddam also mentioned formulation of various directives for enforcement of contracts, assessment of statements, project delay and appraisal of projects as other duties of the contracts department. He noted that a uniform frame for contracts has been approved for the gas industry and has been recently endorsed by the board of directors before being notified to various project managers to be implemented in coordination with the managing director of the company.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">Tavakkol Moqaddam stated that contracts are underway both as price list and single article, adding, “Due to complexities of some projects, the first option is usually preferable to the second option.”</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">He added that implementation of single article contracts, which has been recently approved, would be possible after proposed by the project manager and confirmed by the managing director because it is seldom used as the risk of project in terms of predicting the size of the project and executive conditions is higher, though payment is easier. “Therefore, we usually use the price list method which is more complicated, but less risky,” he said.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">Head of the contracts department of the Gas Engineering and Development Company also noted that the situation of insurance for projects will be determined soon, adding, “Due to high number of projects underway by the Gas Engineering and Development Company, all-risk insurance and mechanism used to do it is of special significance and reports have been prepared and sent to the managing director.”</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">Tavakkol Moqaddam said correcting consumption pattern should not be limited to saving on water, power and gas, adding, “We must describe correct consumption of all material and spiritual resources…. In other words, everything should be where they are meant to be to optimize cost of projects and prevent extravagance. A committee has been established at the company with a representative from the contracts department. They have made good decisions which will enter into force through cooperation of the managing director.”</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">“Anyway, good consumption, reducing wasting of time in administrative processes, increasing specialized knowledge, effective exchange of information, facilitating regulations and preventing repetition are among major steps which constitute good examples of correcting consumption model, which will lead to higher quality and saving on time and expenses,” he said.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">Asked about the relationship between employers and employees, the official noted that every person should do their job and be a role model because this would raise the spirit of the whole system and strengthen collaborative work. “I have good relations with my colleagues and I am satisfied with all of them,” he added.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">“I expect my colleagues to do more than before by fulfilling their commitments and increasing their presence in various activities of the company,” he said.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">Tavakkol Moqaddam said a bitter recent memory for him was hearing news about demise of the spouse of one of his colleagues and mentioned group activities which led to obtaining ISO 9001:2000 certificate as one of the best memories of his service period.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">Tavakkol Moqaddam will be retired in December 2012. He thanked his wife for her efforts in raising their only child who is now studying in the second grade of Farzanegan High School.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">He advised his colleagues at the contracts and engineering assessments department to be more diligent and finish projects in the shortest possible time. He also advised project managers who have requested the department to see into their problems to provide papers and documents with sufficient quality and quantity in order to get a more complete and rapid response.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">“The project managers should give logical answers to claims raised by contractors and consultants, so that, there would be no need to forward those claims to our department unless in exceptional cases,” he said.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">As the last word, he thanked the managing director for his logical guidance, patience and high spirit and said all that has been achieved by the department was a result of his colleagues’ sincere efforts.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:10pt;">“Therefore, I thank all of them and all other colleagues in the company who have worked for the excellence of the company.

The most important characteristic of our employees is high level of specialty and education. The Gas Engineering and Development Company enjoys the highest percentage of specialized workforce among subsidiary companies of the National Iranian Gas Company and this is due to specialty of the company in implementing projects and its dire need to specialized manpower as compared to other subsidiary companies. Inside the Gas Engineering and Development Company, the highest ratio of specialized workforce is related to project management department where about 75 percent of employees have finished higher education and 45 percent of them hold master’s degrees.”</span></p>

<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:11pt;">Q: Please explain about your work as official in charge of Pataveh 4 gas compression station.</span></b></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:11pt;">A: At present, tender bid documents for Pataveh 4 station have been distributed and technically evaluated and the contractor will be selected in a month.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:11pt;">Q: How consumption pattern in your work can be corrected?</span></b></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:11pt;">A: The Gas Engineering and Development Company established a seven-person committee in June 2009. I am a member of the committee and we have weekly meetings to offer mechanisms for realization of this goal. Major topics have been determined but they have not been notified to subsidiary companies yet.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:11pt;">One of the most important factors which helps correction of consumption pattern is value engineering. It is an important parameter which can reduce the cost of projects by, at least, 20-30 percent.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:11pt;">Another factor is timely supply of budget for construction of gas transmission projects which will prevent long delays in the implementation of projects. At present, some gas pipeline projects are facing this problem.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:11pt;">Timely presentation of financial statements of contractors is another factor. Contractors are usually short of needed funds and if they face problems on payments by us, this would reduce quality of work and delay implementation.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:11pt;">On-time procurement of goods either by client or contractor is another factor which will speed up projects.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:11pt;">Q: How should be the relationship between a manager and his staff so as to</span></b><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:11pt;"> <b>facilitate work?</b></span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:11pt;">A: I think it should be a two-way friendly relationship and a sense of brotherhood should exist between superiors and subordinates. This is a secret of success. Mr. Lorzadeh, former head of this department, had adopted a policy to establish that kind of rapport among the staff members which is exemplar for other departments. He maintained that before being a boss, a good boss should be friend of his subordinates, so that, they would wholeheartedly work for him and do their best.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:11pt;">Honesty is another issue which is of high importance to establishment of a friendly relationship. In the absence of honesty, no staff member can trust his/her boss and share their problems.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:11pt;">Another factor is to valuate staff members. If they are allowed to express their opinions in that case, the gap between the boss and subordinates would narrow and everybody would try to do the job in the best possible manner.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:11pt;">Q: Would you share a memory of your work with us?</span></b></p>
<p style="margin:0cm 0cm 10pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman','serif';font-size:11pt;">A: When I was in charge of the second gas trunkline, there was a village called Dorahan near Yasouj. I went there to acquire land, but one of the locals had instigated others and when we got there, I saw young villagers holding stones and ready to attack us. Although I was somehow scared, I decided not to lose ground to them. I went forward and said, “I am here to serve and I am afraid of nobody. Now, if anybody is courageous enough, step forward!” After a few seconds, the same man who had instigated the others, let go of the stone and came to me saying, “Nobody is going to hurl stone at you Mr. Engineer.” This changed the whole atmosphere and I did my job by afternoon. They saw me off in a respectful manner.</span></p>
