[ 18 ] [ 22 ] [ 23 ] [ 24 ] While the country remains dependent on small gasoline and diesel imports , net gasoline imports in 2013 averaged only 33 000 bpd . This compares to refined product imports of 182 000 bpd in 2009 , of which two thirds was gasoline ( approximately 132 000 bpd ) . [ 25 ] As of 2015 , except for the Persian Gulf Star Refinery in Assalouyeh , all plans for the building of 13 new oil refineries have been abandoned `` due to technical and financial issues '' according to Iranian media .
