Finally, it was put into operation with a three-year break on February 9, 1984, and up to present nine engineers were in charge of management of the refining company.
The book Oral History: Bidding System of Shahid Hasheminejad Gas Refining Company (Khangiran), written by Seyyed Ali Mazinani, Gholam Hossein Noei and Moloud Isaei, was published in the fall of 2019 by Mirase Katibeh Shieh Press, in a circulation of 1000 copies and at a price of 25,000 Tomans.
Except this book, the authors have done research and studies in the field of oral history; for example, the book On the Service Rail: History of First Line of Mashhad Urban Railway can be mentioned.

In the introduction of the book, engineer Seyyed Majid Monabati, CEO of Shahid Hasheminejad Gas Refining Company, while explaining the bidding system, believes that: the bidding system is a dynamic and questioning polling mechanism which tries to receive the smallest solutions to improve current processes from each member and each class and then interfere them in the fate of company. Today, with the publication of Oral History: The Bidding System, we have not aimed to just offer our trend to the newcomers in this field. In fact, we intend to draw attentions to concerns such as the need to remove this system from the limited monopoly of the governing apparatus and its establishment in all aspects of society, linking this individualization system, dynamic polling and questioning with issues such as sanctions, resistance economy, knowledge-based companies and drawing global domains for bidding systems in the emergence of our country.
In the afterword, the authors pointed that this book was compiled of interviews and documents of 14 years of life of about 300 volunteer employees of the bidding system. Any people who better codify these experiences and reflections will excel and be exemplified among other peoples in terms of knowledge and science.
