Iran set to step up gas imports from Azerbaijan

Iran's Deputy Oil Minister Jawad Oji has said in an interview with ISNA news agency that experts continue to consider possibility of increasing gas imports from Azerbaijan to 2-5 million cubic meters per day. A special committee has been launched to step up gas imports from Azerbaijan, the oil minister said.

There is already a contract on swap gas supplies from Azerbaijan to Nakhchivan.

“We must be sure that Azerbaijan has completed the construction of necessary supply pipelines and has installed compressor stations of high pressure,” the minister explained.
