Energy security is one of the substantial objectives of the countries’ policy-making and regulatory regimes. Therefore, gas storage has been paid attention to as a tool for developing security and responding to customers’ need in the case of demand surge in the different countries. Moreover, due to strategic reasons and to decrease the impacts of the political situation of the gas-producing countries, utilizing storage mechanisms has been noticeably welcomed by the gas-importing countries. Nevertheless, specific laws and regulations of gas storage which contain its exclusive requirements have yet to be enacted and set out.The storage arrangements could be developed under different mechanisms including contracts. In Iran, Build, Operate, and Transfer (BOT) contracts are being used as the storage project granting instruments with retaining the governmental ownership; however, the licensing system containing transfer of ownership to the private sector along with the legal basis for the third party access is a prominent arrangement for such projects in England. Despite flaws and deficiencies in the relevant Iranian contractual arrangements, the more incentivized investment could be achieved with focusing on the storage activities and operation status, utilizing the produced hydrocarbons (gas) and the legal options and tools based on which the transfer of the ownership to investors is possible including title to storage installations.

Current statistics indicate the inequality of natural gas supply and demand. The question is which adopted policy will provide efficient productivity of natural gas? Scholars' findings indicate that applying macro policies related to gas optimization and establishing a sector regulatory institution in the gas market will greatly contribute to the optimal efficiency of natural gas. Referring to the Establishment of Optimal Energy Market and Environment Regulation, energy saving certificate is issued. These certificates are securities entailing the right to own a certain amount of saved energy that are traded in the market. At the same time, under the control of the sector regulator in gas market, the existing imbalance between supply and demand is resolved and efficient productivity of natural gas is achieved. Among other direct effects of the establishment of this institution are dealing with monopoly in the market, identifying examples of anti-competitive practices and approval of directives regulating the market price and goods amount. Therefore it is required to control the market through gas sector regulator. This Article seeks to present a policy for the industry to provide efficient productivity in natural gas. In order to achieve efficient productivity and establishing this regulator in Iran's gas market and in addition to the existing regulations, the regulator institution, its qualifications and article of association in gas sector are studied.

The oil and gas sector has the potential to have a positive and negative impact on a wide range of areas covered by the Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore, this potential can make the Gas Exporting Countries Forum an important player in order to participate in achieving the goals of sustainable development. Although the Sustainable Development Goals are at the heart of the Forum's long-term strategic goals, success in this area requires multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary approaches, which will highlight the role of others in this area. Aware of its responsibility for sustainable development, GECF has taken a positive approach to the principles of prevention, commitment to cooperation and protection of the environment, and the integration and sustainable use of natural resources and other principles of sustainable development. The organization's focus on climate change is also seen as a key step. Because responding to climate change can help advance other sustainable development goals.
