IRNA: Oman to Become New Gate for Iran’s Gas Exports

The opportunity provided through LNG for the export of Iran’s gas to long distance destinations in Europe and East Asia has motivated Iran to export gas through Oman with great speed in order not to lag behind the rivals.

In the LNG installations, the natural gas is turned into liquid at the minus 162 degrees and is pressed as such that each 600 units of the gas volume will be turned into one LNG volume and on this basis a giant volume of the pressed gas can be exported through special vessels.

So far the three Persian, Iran and Pars LNG projects have been defined in Iran but major part of their operation has been stopped due to the sanctions but Iran LNG project has made about 50% progress and it is expected that with the removal of sanctions the required equipment will be purchase and installed.
