Iran may extend domestic pipeline into Pakistan

It is probable that Iran would extend its domestic Iran Gas Trunkline 7 (IGAT-7) pipeline into Pakistan, avoiding the creation of a new, parallel pipeline, according to an analysis carried by Eurasia Review. "A controversial pipeline proposal is the $7.4-billion Iran-Pakistan-India (IPI) line which would transport Iranian natural gas south to the Asian subcontinent," said the analysis.
It argued that with a proposed 1,700 miles and a 5.4 Bcf/d capacity, the pipeline has been stalled in the past due in part to disputes over the cost of the shipments. "Iran and Pakistan have finalised gas sales and purchase agreements, but without India's participation in the negotiations," according to it.
