The plan to export gas to Oman will be implemented during the current Iranian year (started March 21) by constructing both onshore and offshore pipelines, managing director of Iranian Gas Engineering and Development Company said.
“Based on the contract between Iran and Oman, a pipeline will be laid from Minab in Hormozgan Province to Kuh Mubarak in the same province on the coast of the Sea of Oman,” Reza Noshadi was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
From there, a subsea pipeline will be laid to Oman's Sohar Port in northern Oman, where an existing pipeline runs to Salalah near the Yemeni border.
The sultanate could import as much as 20 billion cubic meters a year of Iranian gas, or more than 50 mcm/d, to meet its demand.
