Islamabad has reiterated its determination to go on with the implementation of the multi-million-dollar Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project, Press TV reports.
Pakistan and Iran have made a “lot of progress” on the project, The Express Tribune quoted the Inter-State Gas Systems (ISGS) Managing Director Mubeen Sulat as saying at a seminar on ‘Pakistan’s Potential in Oil and Gas Sector'.
“Iran has completed almost 90% work on the gas pipeline and we have completed a detailed engineering survey and a bankable feasibility study for the gas import project, which has entered the implementation stage,” Sulat said at the seminar organized by the Petroleum Institute of Pakistan (PIP).
He added that Pakistan will import 750 million cubic feet of gas per day from Iran under the IP pipeline project, with the first flow scheduled for December 2014.
