Iran, Oman Talk Gas Trade

Iranian minister of petroleum Bijan Namdar Zanganeh and his Omani counterpart Mohammed bin Hamad Al Rumhy held talks on Iran’s gas export to the neighboring country.

The meeting took place on Sunday evening in Saad Abad Palace here on the sidelines of a three day official visit to Iran by Oman ruler Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said who arrived in Tehran at the head of a high ranking delegation early Sunday.

In connection to negotiations with Omani Minister of Oil and Gas, Zanganeh told that the two sides reached good understandings on gas export to Oman and will pursue the next steps in the future, according to a report by presidential office website.

Iran and Oman have great potentials for boosting cooperation in the oil industry including supplying gas to Oman’s LNG units which could be met mainly through sweet gas reserves of Kish gas field in the Persian Gulf.

Iran sits atop the second largest gas reserves in the world, and short distance between the two countries through Persian Gulf waters turns Iran into one of the best options for meeting the neighboring country’s gas needs.
