Development of Gas Supply Infrastructure on Agenda

Following the US, Russia and Canada, Iran has one of the largest gas supply networks, the managing director of Iranian Gas Transmission Company said on Monday.
“The country has laid over 36,000 kilometers of gas pipelines across the country and operates 81 gas compressor stations as well as nine export and import terminals,” Saeed Tavakkoli also told IRNA on Tuesday.
With the launch of new phases at the giant South Pars Gas Field in the Persian Gulf, Iran has boosted its natural gas output, which will help ramp up exports.
Iran produces 850 million cubic meters of gas per day, which is planned to reach 1.2 billion cm/d by 2022.
