Studies have begun by Iran and Oman on the deepwater route of a pipeline that is supposed to transfer Iranian natural gas to Oman, managing director of National Iranian Gas Exports Company (NIGEC), Alireza Kameli said.
He said that two routes have been considered for gas transfer from Iran to Oman which include deepwater and shallow water paths, Iran’s SHANA news agency reported.
He said the deepwater route would be shorter and would not need permission from a third country, however the final decision for choosing the path will be taken after studies are finalised over the two options.
A project has been defined for carrying out studies over the gas pipeline. The Iranian Offshore Engineering and Construction Company (IOEC) has been awarded the offshore studies and Pars Consulting Engineers Company the onshore ones.
The land part of the gas pipeline extends for 200 km from Rudan to Mobarak Mount in southern Hormozgan province. The seabed section between Iran and Sohar Port in Oman will stretch for another 200 km.

When the tanks are full, the liquefied carbon dioxide will be loaded onto a dedicated carrier from Royal Wagenborg and shipped to the INEOS Nini platform in the Danish North Sea. From there, it will be safely injected via pipeline into subsurface reservoirs approximately 1800 m beneath the seabed for permanent storage.
