Teen solves centuries-old math problem
TEHRAN, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad heads to Turkmenistan on Jan. 6 to launch a second natural gas pipeline between the countries, officials said.
Reza Kassaeizadeh, managing director of the National Iranian Gas Export Co., told the semiofficial Fars News Agency a second gas line will go online during the first full week of January.
"The second pipeline to transfer Turkmenistan's gas to Iran will come online during the upcoming visit of President Ahmadinejad to (Turkmenistan) in the next week," he said.
The pipeline connects eastern Iran to the massive Dauletabad gas field in Turkmenistan. Kassaeizadeh said the system will transmit 211 billion cubic feet of natural gas to Iran each year.
Dauletabad is the largest gas field in Turkmenistan with an estimated reserve capacity of more than 40 trillion cubic feet of gas.
The director told Fars his country wants to receive as much as 700 billion cubic feet of gas with extensions to the pipeline inside Iranian territory.
Iranian delegates joined their Turkmen counterparts at a border ceremony Monday marking the connection of natural gas pipelines between the two countries.
The first phase of the network includes a 21-mile section from a gas refinery in the northeastern Iranian city of Sarakhs to a connection to pipelines in Turkmenistan.
The Turkmenistan-Iran pipeline supplements the existing Korpezhe-Kurt-Kui pipeline, which transports 296 billion cubic meters of Turkmen gas to Iran.
