The eighteenth of Mehr, the anniversary of the establishment of Rah Gostar Naft, provides an opportunity to reflect on a journey that began in 1999 with the dedication of the company’s managers, engineers, specialists, and employees. Over the past 27 years, their collective efforts have built a sustained record of contributing to the development of the country’s infrastructure. Beyond recalling our history, this occasion brings into sharper focus our responsibilities toward the company’s future, its employees, shareholders, and clients.
As a subsidiary within the Oil Industry Pension Fund and Ahdaf Investment Group, Rah Gostar Naft bears a responsibility that extends beyond fulfilling its contractual obligations. Protecting and enhancing the value of assets belonging to oil industry retirees, making effective use of resources, and contributing to national infrastructure development are central to this responsibility. These commitments must be reflected in the quality of our work, our financial discipline, and our organizational accountability.
Rah Gostar Naft’s track record in building construction, road development, and the oil and gas sector draws on the engineering expertise and practical experience accumulated by successive generations of colleagues. This foundation has enabled the company to provide consulting, design, execution, and supervision services for civil engineering and industrial projects. The company’s contractor qualifications, awarded by Iran’s Plan and Budget Organization—Grade 1 in Roads and Transportation, Grade 1 in Buildings and Structures, Grade 2 in Installations and Equipment, and Grade 5 in Water—further support its capacity to undertake specialized assignments. Maintaining these qualifications requires consistent quality and the continued development of our execution capabilities.
As we approach the company’s 27th anniversary, its financial and operational performance also reflects the progress achieved in its activities. According to the financial performance report for the Iranian year 1404, operating revenue increased by 162 percent compared with the corresponding period of the previous financial year, while net profit rose by 1,060 percent. These results were achieved through improvements to engineering processes, effective resource management, the implementation of financial discipline, and progress in project execution. For us, their significance lies in strengthening the company’s ability to sustain its operations, fulfill its commitments, and safeguard shareholders’ interests.
Revenue growth can deliver lasting results only when accompanied by cost control, the rigorous fulfillment of obligations, and the protection of the company’s contractual rights. Accordingly, legal and contractual matters, together with safeguarding the company’s rights in its dealings with all stakeholders, must remain a consistent priority alongside financial management and project oversight.
In terms of project execution, the launch of the new access road and well-site construction project at the Azar Oil Field, following the war and amid the exceptional circumstances facing the country, holds particular significance in the company’s operational record during this period. Undertaking and commencing such an assignment requires management readiness, coordination among specialist personnel, site mobilization, and the skilled deployment of machinery. Rah Gostar Naft’s involvement in this project at such a time demonstrates its capacity to organize human resources and operational assets while maintaining its ability to work under difficult conditions.
Operating during wartime and in its aftermath presents challenges in procuring materials and equipment, moving personnel and machinery, managing costs, and protecting employees’ safety. Under such circumstances, every aspect of our work requires greater care and coordination. The responsible efforts of our colleagues at head office and project sites to advance operations in these conditions deserve recognition. At the same time, protecting employees’ health and safety and complying with safety requirements must always remain fundamental to operational decisions.
Alongside project expansion and improved financial performance, employee welfare has been a priority during this period. The timely and regular payment of salaries and benefits, together with improvements to employment conditions, forms part of Rah Gostar Naft’s responsibility toward those who carry the principal burden of fulfilling its commitments and delivering its results. We believe that reliable payments, respect for employees’ professional standing, and better working conditions strengthen organizational trust and support sustained, effective performance.
The path ahead must build responsibly on this approach. Careful project selection, greater productivity, continued financial discipline, the protection of contractual rights, stronger workforce and machinery capabilities, and the fulfillment of commitments in accordance with quality, safety, and scheduling requirements must guide our work. Combined with the experience gained over the past 27 years, these priorities will create lasting value only when translated into sounder decisions and accountable performance.
I extend my congratulations on the 27th anniversary of Rah Gostar Naft to all employees and their esteemed families. I express my appreciation for the support of the respected leadership of the Oil Industry Pension Fund, Ahdaf Investment Group, Oil Industry Investment Company, our shareholders, and the members of the Board of Directors. I also thank our clients for their trust, our consultants, contractors, and suppliers for their cooperation, and the company’s managers and employees for their dedicated efforts.
I further pay tribute to the contributions of former managers and colleagues who have played a role in the establishment and continuity of the company over the years. My sincere thanks also go to employees’ families, whose support sustains our colleagues, particularly those working on projects far from home.
I hope that, through this continued cooperation, we can make an even greater contribution in the coming year to developing the country’s infrastructure and safeguarding national interests.
