伊朗本周将启动通过管道向伊拉克供应天然气

　　据海外媒体1月22日德黑兰报道，伊朗石油部长赞加内22日在德黑兰接受伊朗媒体记者采访时表示，伊朗将在1月24日启动运行一条向伊拉克供应天然气的管道。

　　赞加内说，伊朗将根据两国在2009年签署的一项谅解备忘录开始天然气输送作业。根据谅解备忘录，伊朗将每天向伊拉克供应大约2000万至2500万立方米天然气。

　　供气协议原计划必须在2013年生效，但由于伊拉克国内安全问题协议已被推迟实施。

　　伊朗媒体补充说，双方是在经过两个月的深入谈判以后才决定本周开始供气的。

　　Iran will kick off the operation of a pipeline supplying natural gas to Iraq on Tuesday (January 24), said a senior Iranian official.

　　The operation will begin as per the memo signed by both the countries in 2009, Irans oil minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh, was quoted as saying in an Iran Daily News report, citing Tasnim News Agency.

　　The deal involves the supply of around 20-25 million cubic meters of Iranian gas per day to Iraq, it said.

　　It was to have gone into operation in 2013 but was delayed because of security issues in Iraq.

　　The project’s operation this week follows two months of intensive negotiations, added the report.
