TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Iranian oil ministry official pointed to high demands in the international market for the Iranian natural gas, and stated that the country will increase exports through new gas pipelines.
Speaking to reporters, National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) Managing-Director Javad Oji outlined the gas pipeline agreement on transferring Iran's gas to Iraq and Syria then to Lebanon and Europe.
Oji said that Iran's gas exports to Europe is sustainable and enjoys a secure future.
Due to Europe's demand for energy, Turkish officials have now given permission to 300 million cubic meters of Iran's gas per day to be exported from through their country to Europe, the Iranian official stated on Sunday.
He further added this issue has made the West sanctions on the Islamic Republic ineffective.
According to the official, Iran produces 600 million cubic meters of gas per day, 37 million cubic meters of which are exported.
Oji further said once the transfer through Iran-Iraq-Syria pipeline is done Syria will purchase 20 to 25 million cubic meters of Iran's gas on a daily basis.
