Baku, Azerbaijan, Dec. 24
By Fatih Karimov - Trend: Iran is negotiating with foreign companies to import oil equipment technology.

Reza Padidar, head of the union of Iranian oil equipment producers, said that through negotiating with foreign companies and attracting new investments, the way will be paved for importing the technology for manufacturing oil equipment, Iran's IRNA news agency reported on Dec. 24.

Currently, oil equipments export accounts for 5 percent of the country's total exports, he added.
