Turkey wants to boost gas supplies through Iran
Power & Materials    8/13/2008 11:31:00 PM
 
ANKARA, Aug 13 (KUNA) -- Turkey will increase gas imports from Iran to compensate reduction in supplies from Azerbaijan resulting from the conflict in Georgia, a senior source from the Turkish pipeline company Botas on Wednesday.
British Petroleum (BP) announced on Tuesday that it closed the Georgian South Caucasus gas pipeline, also known as the Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum Pipeline or Shakh-Deniz Pipeline, transporting natural gas from the Shah Deniz gas field in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea to Turkey, because of the ongoing conflict with Russia.
According to the Turkish pipeline company, Botas, the gas in the pipeline is enough to flow for at least a week.
The state-owned company said that Turkey currently imports on a daily basis around 13 million cubic feet of Iranian natural gas and will be increased to around 20 million during the stoppage period.
Turkey and Iran will hold talks on energy relations during the two-day visit of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who will be accompanied by a delegation including Oil Minister, to Turkey on Thursday, the Tehran Times reported on Wednesday.
The Iranian president will pay a two-day visit to Turkey on Thursday, during which energy relation talks are expected to top the agenda. (end) mm.mb KUNA 132331 Aug 08NNNN
