Summary of the Current Situation of Iran's Oil Industry
Iran, as a major global oil producer and exporter, has abundant oil resources and ranks among the top in the world in terms of oil reserves. However, due to the long-term impact of international sanctions, Iran's oil extraction and export industry also faces problems such as lagging technology and equipment updates, and insufficient investment. Although there was a development opportunity after the 2015 Iran nuclear agreement was reached, the development of Iran's oil industry still faces significant pressure as the United States subsequently withdrew from the agreement and restarted sanctions. The Iranian government is still striving to enhance its domestic oil extraction capacity and modernize its refining facilities, and is seeking deeper cooperation with other countries, including China.
Analysis of Power Transformer Demand in Iran's Oil Extraction Industry
Iran, as a major global oil producing and exporting country, has abundant resources in oil extraction. As a key part of transmission and distribution equipment, power transformers are mainly used to increase and regulate voltage, ensuring stable and efficient transmission of electricity to various mining facilities. With the recovery and development of Iran's oil extraction industry, its demand for power transformers will gradually increase. According to data from the China Electricity Council, Iran's import volume of power transformers has increased by 30% in the past year, and this trend is expected to continue in 2024. Phoebe, the sales manager of Hengfengyou Electric, believes that the demand driving factor is as follows.
1. Expansion of oil extraction activities: As Iran increases its oil extraction efforts and builds or expands infrastructure such as oil fields and drilling platforms, the demand for power transformers will correspondingly increase.
2. Equipment update and replacement: Due to long-term operation and environmental impact, the original power transformers may need to be maintained, upgraded or even replaced, generating new market demand.
3. Improving energy efficiency and environmental standards: With the increasing requirements of technology and policies for energy conservation and emission reduction, the demand for new transformers with high energy efficiency and low losses will also increase.
4. International sanctions: Iran's international sanctions may cause difficulties in purchasing advanced power equipment, affecting the import of power transformers and technology.
5. Local manufacturing capability: The development level and technological capabilities of Iran's domestic power transformer manufacturing industry also directly affect the supply situation within the industry.
Overall, there is a sustained and significant demand for power transformers in the Iranian oil extraction industry. In 2023, Hengfengyou Electric customized 37 2500kva-20/0.4 oil immersed transformers for Iranian oil field customers, which have been installed and connected to the grid and operate well.

Opportunities and Challenges of Iran's Oil Extraction Industry for Chinese Power Transformer Enterprises
For Chinese power transformer companies, there are obvious opportunities and challenges in cooperation with the Iranian oil extraction industry. The recovery and development of Iran's oil extraction industry has provided huge market opportunities for Chinese power transformer enterprises. Chinese power transformer enterprises have competitive advantages in technology, price, and service, and are expected to occupy an important position in the Iranian market. In addition, with the deepening of the Belt and Road Initiative, economic cooperation between China and Iran will be further strengthened, providing more business opportunities for Chinese power transformer enterprises.
Despite the enormous opportunities, Chinese power transformer companies also face some challenges. Firstly, Iran's oil extraction industry is subject to strict international regulation, and Chinese power transformer companies need to comply with relevant technical and trade regulations. Secondly, the political environment in Iran is relatively complex, and Chinese power transformer companies need to fully consider political risks when conducting business. Finally, Chinese power transformer companies need to improve the quality of their products and services to meet the demands of the Iranian market.
Overall, the demand for Chinese power transformers in Iran's oil extraction industry will continue to grow in 2024. Chinese power transformer enterprises should seize this market opportunity, actively explore the Iranian market, and fully recognize the challenges they face, improve product and service quality, in order to achieve sustainable development.
