Feb. 14 (Bloomberg) — Iran, which holds the world’s biggest reserves of natural gas after Russia, plans to start exporting the fuel in chilled form to China, India and Thailand from 2009.
The nation wants to start exporting 35 million cubic meters of liquefied natural gas a day, increasing to 180 million cubic meters a day by 2020, Hedayat Omidvar, head of research and technology at the National Iranian Gas Company, told delegates at a conference in London today.
“We have one or two years delay, no more, in developing our LNG projects, but we can meet our LNG export potential,” Omidvar said in a teleconference broadcast at the LNG 2007 conference.
Iran has lagged behind Qatar in developing its part of South Pars, the world’s largest natural-gas deposit. No final oil and gas accords have been signed with Western companies since President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad took office in August 2005.
Iran, Repsol YPF SA and Royal Dutch Shell Plc signed a preliminary contract late month to develop part of the country’s South Pars gas field.
Iran is negotiating with Technip SA, Linde AG and Daewoo of Korea to help develop its expertise in LNG, Omidvar said.
LNG is natural gas cooled to a liquid, which can then be shipped in tankers.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
