Daily supplies have reached 30 million cubic meters per day on average this year,&#8221; Saeed Tavakkoli was also quoted as saying by madaresharghi on Wednesday.<br \/> \tAs per the agreement signed between the two sides in 1996, Iranian Gas Transmission Company, a subsidiary of National Iranian Gas Company, should deliver a certain amount of gas to the neighboring state per annum. Nonetheless, export level may fluctuate in different months based on the domestic demand in Iran.<br \/> \tThe country pumps most of its natural gas for export from South Pars Gas Field in the Persian Gulf.<br \/> \tAccording to the official, exports normally experience a decline in winter and rise in scorching summer months.<br \/> \tAsked about the gas transmission network to deliver the strategic fuel, Tavakkoli said there is not a fixed gas pipeline to transfer gas to Turkey.<br \/> \t&#8220;Iran&#8217;s export network is flexible and extended enough to be able to face delivery challenges in different periods,&#8221; he said, adding that natural gas is sent to Turkey from a series of routes, one of which branches off from Qazvin Province, northwest of Tehran, which is extended up to Tabriz in East Azarbaijan, and finally ends up in Bazargan border.<br \/> \tPointing to other ongoing ventures to further diversify the path to export gas to Turkey, he said the 9th Iran Gas Trunkline (IGAT-9) will be another option when it is completed.<br \/> \tIGAT-9 is a 1,900-kilometer prospective pipeline that will stretch from the southern city of Asalouyeh in Bushehr Province through Ahvaz, Dehgolan and eventually Bazargan.<br \/> \t&#8220;Upon completion, the pipeline will have the capacity to transfer 100 million cubic meters of natural gas per day,&#8221; he said.<br \/> \tIran, which started selling gas to Turkey in 2001, is the second largest gas supplier to the\u00a0country, delivering 10 billion cubic meters annually. Iran signed a contract in 1996 to export up to 10 billion cubic meters of gas per year to Turkey over 25 years. But Turkey&#8217;s state-owned oil and gas company Botas appealed in March 2012 to the International Court of Arbitration, claiming that Tehran had overcharged.<br \/> \tThe court ruled in November 2016 that Iran supplied gas to Turkey at a higher price compared to other producers in the region and must cut its exported gas price by approximately 13%.<\/p>\n<p> \t\u00a0\u00a0 Iraq Delivery<br \/> \tAccording to Tavakkoli, Iran exported 1.2 billion cubic meters of gas to Iraq since late June.<br \/> \t&#8220;Iran has planned for the export of up to 25 million cubic meters of gas per day to Baghdad,&#8221; he noted, adding that exports of up to 25 million cubic meters of gas per day to Basra will start as soon as Iraq is ready to accept the delivery.<br \/> \tIran signed two contracts to export gas, one for the Iraqi capital Baghdad and the other for the southern Iraqi city of Basra, Iranian state media reported in June.<br \/> \tIran has embarked on diversifying its gas market on the back of increasing output from South Pars, a major natural gas deposit it shares with Qatar in the Persian Gulf.<br \/> \tGovernment data show the country is producing over 800 million cubic meters of gas daily, more than two-thirds of which come from South Pars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>madaresharghi Iran has exported 5.4 billion cubic meters of natural gas to Turkey during the first six months of the current fiscal year (March 21\u2013Sept. 22) through the Bazargan district, a border crossing in West Azarbaijan Province northwest of Iran, the managing director of Iranian Gas Transmission Company said. &#8220;Gas export to Turkey stood at [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2,8],"tags":[296,118,28,31,159,639,178,56,213,84,95,82,68,22,23,27],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v15.7 -
