The State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) is negotiating with Iran to start gas exports in the coming winter, President of SOCAR Rovnag Abdullayev said on Oct. 19.
"Last year we exported certain volumes of gas to Iran. Probably, volumes will also be exported to Iran this year in winter," the SOCAR president said.
He said it is too early to talk about specific amounts, because "negotiations are underway."
The head of SOCAR said currently the pipeline, connecting Azerbaijan and Iran, is undergoing repairs, the capacity of compressor stations that Azerbaijan could export the desired volume of gas also increases.
"Azerbaijan has four gas export routes - Turkey, Georgia, Russia and Iran. Gas is currently exported to Turkey and Georgia, and since early 2009, the Azerbaijani gas will be exported to Russia," said Abdullayev.
