The Comprehensive Strategic Partnership treaty signed between Moscow and Tehran on 17 January shed light on a new project to deliver Russian gas to Iran.
The gas pipeline’s route has been agreed on, it will pass through Azerbaijan, Russian Energy Minister Sergei Tsivilev confirmed.
Negotiations are in the final stages, volumes have already been agreed, and the sides are developing an approach to pricing, Tsivilev added. Russia will cover the infrastructure costs.
The project is expected to start with deliveries of up to two billion cubic metres annually, with the prospect of increasing to 55 billion cubic metres.
When Gazprom and the National Iranian Gas Company (NIGC) signed a strategic memorandum on Russian gas supplies in June 2024, the Iranian side noted that about 300 million cubic metres of gas per day will be supplied daily (109 billion m3/year) via the Caspian Sea for domestic consumption and supplies to neighbouring countries.
