Iran Warns of Cancelling $5bn China Gas Deal

Pubdate:2012-12-26 10:24 Source:lijing Click:

Iran has warned China it could cancel a much-delayed $5bn offshore gas exploration contract in the Gulf, a news agency said yesterday.


"There is a possibility of cancelling the contract" signed in 2009 to develop the South Pars gas field — which holds around eight percent of the world's gas reserves — Mehr news quoted oil ministry spokesman Alireza Nikzad as saying.


China has for years aimed to strengthen its economic relationship with sanctions-hit Iran, by filling the investment void left by departing Western companies.


But Iran has accused China of failing to fulfil its commitment and delaying its contractual obligations.


South Pars, a huge offshore natural gas field shared between Iran and Qatar, holds around 14 trillion cubic metres of gas, and Iran plans to use the "phase 11" project to fill its first-ever liquefied natural gas plant.


Mehr named China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), the Asian giant's largest oil and gas producer and supplier, as the company contracted for the project.


Iran suspended a $16bn contract with China last year for the North Pars gas field, saying the decision to let the Chinese develop North Pars rested on their effectiveness in developing South Pars.


Nikzad said that should the South Pars contract be cancelled, the development of the offshore gas field would be handed over to Iranian contractors. "The Chinese side has stated it is not inclined to be part of the project's development," citing the "high risk" involved in offshore exploration, Nikzad added.


He said that a deal for another gas field would instead be discussed "in the near future," without giving any details.
