Iran’s Oil Minister Masoud Mirkazemi and Syrian Minister of Petroleum and Mineral Resources Sufian al-Alaw met on Tuesday to discuss bilateral energy ties.
The discussion centered on supplying gas to Syria, building a refinery in Syria and manufacturing a pipeline to transfer Iranian gas to Syria via Iraq and finally to international markets, the Tehran Times reported.
Previously, Iranian Deputy Oil Minister Javad Owji had announced that Iraq has granted permission to transfer Iranian gas to Syria via Iraq.
Owji went on to say that Iran is ready to export natural gas to Iraq in two phases, with 7-8 million cubic meters and 12 million cubic meters in the first and second phases, respectively.
“Two European companies have suggested six routes for exporting Iranian gas to Europe. The Persian pipeline, the Nabucco pipeline and the Iran-Iraq-Syria-Italy pipeline are the main proposed routes,” he said.
Iran plans to participate in the construction of a refinery with a refining capacity of 140,000 barrels in Homs, Syria.
