Iran, Turkmenistan Discuss Gas Cooperation
TEHRAN,April 27 (FNA)- Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Turkmen counterpart Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov discussed the economic ties and cooperation between the two neighboring countries in a phone conversation on Wednesday.
During the phone talk, the two chief executives exchanged views about Turkmen gas exports to Iran.
The Iranian and Turkmen officials have in their recent meetings agreed to boost gas cooperation between the two countries after launching a new joint gas pipeline project which is due to increase Iran's gas imports from the Central Asian state.
Late in November, Ahmadinejad and his Turkmen counterpart inaugurated the last section of a 1.2-billion-dollar gas pipeline between the two countries.
The 1024-km-pipeline has a daily capacity of 50 mcm. The 48-inch diameter pipeline allows Iran to swap Turkmen gas to other countries.
The first phase of the pipeline came on stream in January 2010 to deliver gas from Turkmenistan's Dauletabad field to Iran's Khangiran refinery.
The second pipeline which passes through Dauletabad, Sarakhs and Khangiran regions was constructed after Iran felt extensive problems in supplying gas to its Northern parts.
