YEREVAN. June 4. /ARKA/. The first consignment of pipes
with 720mm diameter, assigned for the construction of 1974km
Kajaran-Sisian-Angeghakot-Jermuk-Ararat (second part of Iran-Armenia
gas pipeline) gas pipeline, has been imported to Armenia.
"40 carriages of cargo delivered from Russia were transported to the
base in Yeraskh, rented by the "ArmRosgasprom", from there the pipes
were transported to the building site," the press service of the
"ArmRosgasprom" reported.
The Company said that by the end of the year it is planned to import
1200 carriages with pipes, which makes 25ths tons of cargo.
For the implementation of the gas-transport enlarging program
large-scale operations are envisaged and for the first time within
15 years there has been a necessity of importing pipes with 720mm
diameter, the press release ran.
Meghri-Kajaran, the first 40km area of Iran-Armenia gas pipeline, was
exploited on March 19, 2007. The opening ceremony took place in the
Armenian city of Agarak (to the south of Armenia), near the Iranian
border in the presence of the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan
Robert Kocharyan and Mahmud Ahmadinejada.
The Iran-Armenia gas pipeline will allow the increase of throughput
capacity of the Armenian gas-transport and will provide transportation
of good deal of volumes of the Iranian gas to Armenia's thermoelectric
power station.
The total cost of the Iran-Armenia gas pipeline makes $220-250mln.
At the initial stage Armenia will receive 400mln cubic meters of gas
with the prospective of increasing the index up to 2.3bln cubic meters
each year. The agreement envisages 36bln cubic meters of natural gas
supply for 20 years from Iran to Armenia with the possible extension of
the agreement for five years and the gas supply to 47bln cubic meters.
The total volume of gas is planned to process into energy envisaged
for the export to Iran on the basis of 3 kilowatt-hours for 1 cubic
meter of natural gas, as well as for the use inside Armenia.
