Iran can export gas to Oman
Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh and his Omani
counterpart Mohammed bin Hamad Al Rumhy held talks in Tehran on
Sunday, following which Iran announced readiness to export natural
gas to Oman, the Mehr News Agency reported.
The two sides reached preliminary agreements in this regard.
Iran and Oman are also scheduled to negotiate the developing joint
offshore gas fields and expanding oil and gas trade.
The two countries signed a deal in 2009 to jointly develop an
underwater 200-kilometer gas pipeline to Musandam and Sohar in
Oman.
In 2011, a National Iranian Gas Export Company (NIGEC) official
said that Iran has reached agreements with India and Oman on
exporting gas to the two countries.
One possible way to transfer Iranian gas to India is via Oman
through subsea pipelines.
Based on a trilateral agreement among Iran, Oman and a third
country, Iran's gas will feed Oman's liquefaction plant before
being processed into various products in the third country.
