Natural Gas Network Expansion Continues

Natural gas pipe-laying operations are underway nationwide to connect far-flung small towns to the national grid, managing director of the state-owned National Iranian Gas Company said.
“Gas pipeline network will extend by 1,700 kilometers by March 2022, after development projects are completed in Kohgilouyeh-Boyerahmad, Khuzestan, Gilan, Hormozgan and Qom provinces,” Majid Chegeni was also quoted as saying by the Oil Ministry’s news agency Shana.
Supplying gas to underprivileged areas is on the company’s agenda and the gas network will cover more subscribers in faraway rural regions, he added.
