Recently, Mr. Sepahdar Ansari Nik, the managing director of Jam petrochemical complex, presented a comprehensive activity report of the first six months of the year 2013.
Having compared Jam petrochemical complex performance in production and export with that in the previous year, he pointed out that, in comparison with the previous year, the amount of liquid feed for Jam Petrochemical complex has increased by 42% and the total value of the received feed has increased by 150%.
Although, in comparison with the first six months of the previous year, gas use has been decreased by 25%, the total price has increased because of using the same amount of liquid feed. Due to fluctuations in reference currency rates, the price of gas has increased in comparison with the first half of the previous year.
Having mentioned the positive assessment of production trend in the first six months of the year 2013, Mr. Ansari Nik added that due to reduction of gas feed, Ethylene production rate has decreased by 5%, that is, 25000 tones.
On the other hand, due to increase in liquid feed taking, Propylene production rate has increased by 6.61%, which is quite noticeable in the profit of Jam Propylene Company. Further, in comparison with the first six months of the previous year, we managed to increase the production rate of Pyrolysis Gasoline by 17%.
Regarding the production trend of other Jam petrochemical products, Mr. Ansari Nik emphasized that with the cooperation of all Jam staff, in comparison with the first six months of the previous year, the production rate of Polyethylene and Butadiene have increased by 5% and 30%, respectively.

Of this 70% domestic sale, 8% has been sold in commodity exchange and 92% among the domestic complexes. The important point is that 50% of sales total value (in Rials) is related to export sales.
