Gazprom, Iranian oil ministry officials discuss energy cooperation in Iran
(MENAFN) A delegation from the Russian state-owned energy giant Gazprom, led by the company's CEO, Alexey Miller, visited Iran and met with officials from the Iranian Ministry of Oil to discuss potential energy cooperation. The Gazprom delegation held talks with Iranian First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber, Oil Minister Javad Oji, and Head of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) Mohsen Khojasteh-Mehr, among others. The discussions revolved around the areas of cooperation outlined in the memorandum of understanding signed by Gazprom and NIOC in 2022, which includes developing Iranian gas and oil fields, conducting swap transactions with natural gas and petroleum products, implementing large and small-scale LNG projects, constructing gas trunklines, and cooperating in science and technology.
Iranian Deputy Oil Minister Ahmad Asadzadeh has stated that Russia is planning to develop six oil and two gas fields in Iran. He also mentioned that Gazprom has the opportunity to transport its gas through Iran to neighboring countries, including Pakistan, and Persian Gulf countries. The potential cooperation between Gazprom and Iran is expected to be mutually beneficial, as Russia has extensive experience and expertise in the energy sector and Iran has vast reserves of oil and gas. The development of these resources are going to help meet the growing demand for energy in the region and beyond.
