Bijan Namdar Zanganeh told Mehr News on Saturday that Iran would establish the first FLNG (Floating Liquefied Natural Gas) facility ever made after nuclear deal with the west; “building LNG-producing facility in line with exports of LNG to European countries is a priority for the ministry; currently, it has a 60-per cent physical growth and when completed, it will add to the 10.5 million metric tons of LNG annually,” Mr. Zanganeh said.
“We had some talks with Spanish contractors as possible partners; however, no definite partner has been chosen yet,” he told Mehr News, who asked Mr. Zanganeh about contractors in the project. On the issue of seizing [by German authorities] of LNG facility equipment in Germany, minister said that German Linde Group would deliver the facility equipment when removal of sanctions took effect.
