ISLAMABAD, July 20 (APP): Federal Minister for Petroleum and Natural Resources Dr. Asim Hussain said the Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline project will be completed by 2012. Talking to a private news channel on Wednesday, he said that Iran has completed its work on laying pipeline while Pakistan would resume its work within six months.He said that survey on Pak-Iran gas pipeline project was launched and it is expected to complete the whole task by the end of 2014.The estimated cost of the project is $1.2 billion and the talks with different companies for laying the pipeline on Pakistani side are in progress, he said. The minister said that feasibility report was being prepared and after this process, the tenders would be invited for choosing the best companies so that the project could be completed in a proper manner, he added.

“Our dependence on Pak-Iran pipeline was very high and there is no other substitute at present to meet the growing demand of the energy,” he said.
