Iran will sign a gas contract with Turkmenistan and import 10 million cubic meters per day later this month, the oil minister said on Tuesday.
Javad Owji made the announcement after meeting Batyr Amanov, Turkmen deputy prime minister for oil and gas, in Tehran, the Oil Ministry’s news service Shana reported.
“Iran started swapping 1.5 to 2 billion cubic meters of gas per year with Turkmenistan two years ago, which figure increased last year,” he added.
