Nouri Petrochemical Complex
Formerly known as Borzouyeh Petrochemical Company, Nouri Petrochemical Company operates an aromatics complex in Asaluyeh. Its reported feedstock base is South Pars gas condensate, and its principal products include paraxylene, orthoxylene, benzene and mixed xylenes.
Strategic and market-access role
Nouri Petrochemical Complex is a high-weight petrochemical asset in the Hormuz Graph because it sits inside the Asaluyeh energy-industrial cluster, where South Pars-linked feedstock, export logistics, industrial utilities, technical labor, and specialized services converge. Its role is particularly relevant to aromatics and chemicals-chain exposure, linking materials flows, port-linked exports, maintenance demand, packaging, storage, and sanctions-sensitive procurement. The asset helps explain how Asaluyeh functions as a downstream materials platform, not only a gas production zone. The company mainly serves export markets from its Asaluyeh location.
