(MENAFN) National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) Managing Director Ali Kardor stated that Iran's gas export to Oman will not start in the next Iranian calendar year (beginning on March 21, 2018).
Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh has formerly declared that gas export to Oman will be started with a daily basis of 10 million cubic meters (mcm) in the next year, but Kardor said such thing is almost impossible.
The official said in an interview with ISNA that the issue is under study and the pipeline path should be investigated.
Asked about Gazprom's participation in construction of the Iran-Oman gas pipeline, Kardor said: "The Russian company is going to investigate the issue, but its presence in the project is not determined."
The Iran-Oman gas pipeline project is expected to connect Iran's gas reserves with Omani consumers and LNG plants so that Oman could re-export the gas.
