Iran and Russia to discuss gas supplies to global market in Vienna - Minister of Petroleum Zanganeh

VIENNA, June 3. /TASS/. Iran will discuss the issue of gas supplies to the global market after the removal of sanctions with the Russian delegation on the sidelines of the 6th OPEC International Seminar in Vienna, Iran’s Minister of Petroleum Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said Wednesday. "Yes, we will be discussing gas supplies," he said. As TASS reported earlier in the middle of May Zanganeh said in case the anti-Tehran sanctions are lifted the country will export gas, with the focus on the Asian rather than the European market. "The priority of our gas industry is providing our own economy with big volumes of natural gas as well as export supplied to our neighbors - Pakistan, India and Iraq. Asia is much more attractive to us," he said. Iran produces 600 mln cubic meters of gas daily. Its gas reserves of 33.9 trillion cubic meters are world’s second-biggest after Russia. Read more
