Abstract

During our second year of study at Inseec, we were taught a number of subjects including Business Ethics. To have a practical approach, we are conducting a study on the joint venture. In our case, we are interested in a joint venture between an Iranian company and a Japanese company.

National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) produces and distributes natural gas and oil. Headquartered in Tehran, the company is public and belongs to the Ministry of Petroleum of Iran. It was founded in 1948. In 2005, the company owned 50% of the offshore gas field of Rhum in the North Sea, which is the largest untapped reservoir in the UK.

NIOC was established with the objectives of exploration, development, production, marketing and sale of crude oil and natural gas. With all the oil reserves of Iran, it is considered one of the largest oil companies in the world. Its reserves of oil and gas are currently 561.9 billion barrels and 41.14 trillion cubic meters.
