Russian gas giant Gazprom is negotiating on cooperation with Iran in
the gas export sphere, Gazprom’s press service reported following
the company’s CEO Alexei Miller’s meeting with Iranian Ambassador
to Russia Gholamreza Ansari. The meeting addressed “prospects in
the sphere of exporting Iranian gas to other countries’ markets
and Gazprom’s participation in projects creating Iranian gas export
flows, based on the principle of participating in every stage of the
price chain – from the extraction of carbohydrates to the sale to
consumers,” the statement read. Gazprom negotiated the purchase of
Armrosgazprom from the Armenian government last week, along with a
40-kilometre section of the Iran- Armenia gas pipeline. Armrosgazprom
will also place an order for the construction of 197 kilometres of the
Iran-Armenia pipeline. “Gazprom’s participation in the construction
of the Iran-Pakistan-India pipeline and the refurbishing of one or
two lines at the Southern Pars deposit, to export carbohydrates,
has been recognised as promising,” the statement read.
