Gas supply development and the upward trend of
Abstract
The upward trend of natural gas consumption as a result of gas supply development in recent years necessitates the need to study the resilience of the natural gas distribution system more than ever. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of natural gas price liberalization on the resumption of the gas supply system in Iran. In order to measure the fluctuation of the natural gas distribution system, in the first stage, Lyapunov's view was calculated by using the Rosen-Einstein method, based on the consumption of natural gas in the household sector during the period from 2005 to 2018. In the next step, by using the Johansen-Uuselus Coincidence Method and the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), the relationship between the price of natural gas and the volatility of the Iranian gas distribution system has been investigated. According to the results of the model, the price of natural gas after the law enforcement of subsidies has led to a reduction in the resilience of the gas supply system; however, before implementing the targeted subsidy policy, the natural gas price has a positive resilience on gas distribution system fluctuations. This could be resulted from the real fall in natural gas prices due to inflation and a sharp increase in the exchange rate in the years after the targeted subsidy law came into force.

This research conducts a quantitative comparative analysis of the dynamic international crude oil trade network of Iran by using the network connectedness measures of Diebold and Yilmaz (2015) and also the asymmetric short-term and long-term impact of the increasing and decreasing key driving factors and obstacles in the crude oil trade development through the gravityrelation and by using the nonlinear panel auto-regressive distributed lag (ARDL) model during 1980–2017. Results indicated the dynamic spillover flow of the crude oil trade of Iran during the investigated period of time. Moreover, the crude oil trade flow of Iran is a net shock transmitter to Middle East and a net shock receiver from the crude oil trade flow in countries of America, Eastern Europe- Eurasia, Africa, Western Europe, and Asia Pacific, respectively. The focus on the divided regional trade scheme and adopting the biased foreign trade policies by Iran may not lead to the vulnerability reduction of its economy from crude oil trade flow volatilities. Findings also reveal the asymmetric behavior of the crude oil bilateral trade flow in response to the increasing and decreasing of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita variables in both crude oil exporting and importing countries and international crude oil transportation costs in the short-term and long-term period that it can be used in identifying the effective factors on the volatility transmission to adjust the crude oil trade flow. Therefore, concerning the high degree of the integration in the international crude oil trade network of Iran, it seems that it is necessary to prioritize cooperative over competitive behavior in the crude oil trade of Iran and respond appropriately to market shocks and volatilities during the time (risk management) in the economic plan of the country.

The global growth in energy consumption especially in fossil fuels together with environmental considerations has produced a prospect of considerable increase in the demand for natural gas. The particular conditions prevailing the Iranian gas industry such as the existence of the World largest gas reservoir, the excellent geopolitical location, the access to the free seas and the availability of necessary infrastructures for pipelines as well as natural gas storage offers actual and potential advantages towards this objective, accordingly by benefiting these advantages, we can define the objectives and formulating appropriate actions towards promoting regional and global gas trade, perform an active role in the gas market. The realization of this objective may contribute towards advancing the international status of Iran in political and economic relations.For study the aforementioned topics, the feasibility study of establishing gas-trading hub in Iran is carried out with using SWOT approach. By focusing on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in the Iranian gas industry, these points are examined within the SWOT matrix. Finally, the best strategies involving SO, WO, ST and WT strategies are analyzed regarding the transformation of Iranian gas industry into gas-trading hub in the region. The results show that the establishment of gas-trading hub in Iran is possible, although the domestic shortcomings and the international threats, the possibility of achieving this objective in the foreseeable future is rather weak.

The choice of contract type in oil fields has always been one of the main and problematic challenges in Iran and elying in making decisions in this regard leads to a dely or non-investment. On the other hand, one of the ways to recognize the components of bargaining power is to recognize and evaluate various types of international contracts. Therefore, in thiss study, while introducing the fiscal model of the contractual agreement concluded in Iran, as well as a combination of contracts for participation in traditional production in Azerbaijan with Joint venture, has been applied to financial simulation in Duroud oil field. After explaining the optimization problem using the generalized reduction gradient method, the optimal production path from the perspective of the parties to the contract is estimated andcompared with the production path specified in the buy back contract. The results show that the use of share-based indicators of project revenues and the net present value of a project for evaluate of oil contracts can be misleading. The oil production path agreed in the Buy back contract is higher than the optimal production path from the perspective of both sides of the combined contract. Tthis is due to the desire of the International Oil Company to rapidly capture capex and remuneration fee in the shortest possible time. Increase in recoverable reserves due to gas injection (presented in MDP), which was approved in buy back contract is less than its optimal amount from the viewpoint of Joint venture in a hybrid contract. This indicates that the proposed hybrid contract is closer to the Maximum Effective Rate and Maximum Final Recovery from Oilfields than the conventional buy back agreement in Iran.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate general strategies of the national document of Iran's energy strategy according to World Energy Council scenarios and based on robust strategy framework, to doing so, a standard political framework and its requirements was introduced and then surveyed to realize which strategies are robust to apply the mentioned political framework in the world depicted by each scenario. In compare to standard political framework in National Energy Strategy Document, no suggestion on energy sources diversification and new energies is proposed and no strategy is seen in the field of energy industry safety and to reduce the political and economic risks of investors. Eventually based on robust strategy, we only have two robust strategy in research and development context. But, in other seven political domain no robust strategy is observed, especially in Hard Rock Scenario, no strategy was seen in five axis from eight axis of main political context. Thus, it is advised to review the existing strategies according to opportunities and threats available in any scenario, and to formulate a comprehensive pattern for national energy policy accordingly. In this regards, it seems very important to design a mechanism to develop new energies, to reduce the political and economic risks for oil companies, to create a surveillance and evaluation system for national energy data, to provide a legal mechanism for negotiation, and finally to select an administrator capable to aggregate resources to implement the strategies in the best way possible
