Iran’s gas storage capacity to hit 100 mcm
Iran will inaugurate its second natural gas storage facility by the end of the current Iranian calendar year (March 20, 2013), aiming to boost gas storage capacity to 100 million cubic meters per day, Mehr news agency quoted Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi as saying.
He made the remarks on the sidelines of inaugurating the country's first natural gas storage facility in Sarajeh, near Tehran, saying that the second facility will be established in Sarakhs, northeast of the country.
The inaugurated facility will have capacity to store 30 million cubic meters of gas per day, he said, adding that the figure is equal to the daily exports of natural gas to Turkey.
In November, IRNA news agency quoted National Iranian Gas Company Managing Director Javad Owji as saying that Iran will establish 40 gas storage facilities in the coming years.
