    IRAN will give the beleaguered offshore & marine sector a much needed boost, if the country's US$130 billion upstream oil and gas investment plan materialises, even though there are hurdles yet to be crossed for foreign players looking to tap the potential of a resurgent oil and gas economy.

    Iran aims to invest US$130 billion on 50-70 upstream oil and gas projects - onshore and offshore, shallow-water and deep-water - in the next 3-5 years, Synergy Offshore chief executive Fazel A Fazelboy told The Business Times.
