Iran to Increase Export by 150 Mcm a Day in Coming Years

Iran will capitalise on growing production from South Pars to add 150 mcm of gas per day to its export capacity, said Alireza Kameli, Managing Director of the National Iranian Gas Exports Company (NIGC). 

‘Kameli stated that with regard to the good markets in the region and increase in export capacity in the coming years, there will be no problem for signing new contracts and export of gas’ reads a note published on NIGC.

Iran could export gas to Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Oman. Kameli said that negotiations are progressing.  

‘As for the export of gas to Afghanistan, Kameli said export of gas to this country due to the need for construction of lengthy pipeline does not seem economical. However, he added, currently export of gas to Afghanistan is being considered in the form of CNG and studies have been conducted in this regard but not finalized yet.’
