SOCAR to build gas storage in Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic

The State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) continues preparations for construction of a gas storage in the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic of the country.

On April 7, SOCAR president Rovnag Abdullayev said in Baku that one of the German companies is involved in designing of this  gas storage.

“German companies RWE and E.On have already shown interest in its building and exploitation. Building work will be begun after completion of designing. The gas storage and gas pipeline line will be built in Turkey to supply Nahchivan by this country,” Abdullayev said. The autonomy has received gas from Iran so far.

“Capacity of the gas storage will make 90 million at the first stage and then will be increased up to 150 million cu m,” Abdullayev added.
