He got retired in 1975 with unique memories on the oil nationalization movement in Iran and round-the-clock efforts of oil industry staff for the continuation of oil industry activities after the British oil company decided to pull out its experts from Iran following disputes between Iran and APOC on the nationalization of oil.
