The National Iranian Gas Export Company (NIGEC) is currently engaged in talks with several Persian Gulf littoral states over exports of natural gas, Managing Director of the NIGEC Alireza Kameli announced.
“The top priority for Iran today is to export gas to the Persian Gulf countries due to the short distance involved,” Kameli pointed out.
“Iran can establish a pipeline of 200 kilometers and feed a large number of those countries,” he said.
“The solution for Iran over exports of natural gas to Persian Gulf countries is using seasonal export deals,” Kameli said.
“Iran’s gas consumption drops in the summer by at least 350 million cubic meters per day compared to the winter …This is while the need for imports of natural gas for the Persian Gulf countries becomes very intense in summers.”
The NIGEC chief further emphasized that Iran is currently negotiating with the UAE, Kuwait and Oman over the exports of natural gas.
Iran, which sits on the world's second largest natural gas reserves after Russia, is making efforts to raise its gas production by increasing foreign and domestic investments, specially in South Pars gas field.
