Oman Plans to Buy Iranian Gas

Omani Oil Minister Mohammed bin Hamad Al Rumhy said the energy-hungry nation aims to get 1 billion cubic feet of gas per day from Iran from 2017/18, under a long-term agreement.

Iran and Oman have great potentials for boosting cooperation in 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’s SHANA news agency reported.

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