Enjoying the twelfth largest coal reserve in the world, only one percent of Iran’s energy consumption basket is supplied by coal. Now, Iran’s energy economy is under the influence of natural oil and gas resources, causing other more profitable energy resources to be neglected. The Underground Coal Gasification (UCG) technology is a procedure to transform the underground coal into gas, resulting in improving the recovery of coal layers with different thicknesses and depths. This technology may be considered as a strategy to feed the domestic gas network with the synthetic gas of UCG. Therefore, Iran’s gas export capacity will be improved, helping domestic and foreign economy of energy. Implementing and using the UCG technology in Iran will help us take a leap toward the goals of upstream documents and orders of the Supreme Leader in the fields of oil and gas.

Increasing demand for oil products in different parts, needs an increased storage capacity in the country.This requires substantial financial resources for investment. Currently almost all these funds and investments are provided through public sources. Many oil-rich countries, various methods are used to finance large oil projects; especially in the upstream sectors. Most of these contracts are known as traditional oil contracts. In addition to these methods, in recent years, other specific methods are used for financing oil projects, especially in the downstream sector, that mostly emphasize the capabilities of the private sector. These methods are called the PPP methods. By describing various methods of financing for construction of Tehran Strategic Oil Storage, this article is investigating the economic and financial aspects of these methods and models. To do so, the Comfar3 software is applied to analyse the feasibility Model, proposed by United Nations Industrial Development Organization and some important indicators of engineering economy for the decision making of the projects.
