Oman-Iran gas pipeline faces obstacles | GulfNews.com:



"Oman and Iran are yet to agree on the route of a 260km underwater pipeline to carry Iranian gas to Oman, Oman’s Minister of Oil and Gas, Mohammed Al Rumhy, said on Monday.



The two countries reached an accord in March 2014 over the pipeline during a visit to Oman by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. In 2013, after a memorandum of understanding (MoU) was signed in Tehran, Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said Iranian gas would start pumping to Oman in 2015.



“The first part is to agree on the route. Once we agree on the route we will move onto the second phase, which is the design of the pipeline itself,” Al Rumhy said in Muscat at the ministry’s annual media briefing."
