National Engineering Services Pakistan (NESPAK) is preparing a feasibility report of a $7.5 billion Iran-Pakistan Gas Pipeline Project. The consultancy services agreement for stage 1 of the project has been signed between the Inter State Gas System (Pvt) Limited (ISGSL) Pakistan and a joint venture of NESPAK and ILF Beratende Ingenievre Gmbh, Germany.
According to the spokesperson of the NESPAK the first stage of the feasibility report will be completed in 14 months after which work on stage II will begin with actual construction of the pipeline scheduled to be completed by December 2014. The pipeline will connect Iran's giant South Far Gas field with Pakistan's Balochistan and Sindh provinces. Pakistan will construct about 700 km long pipeline from its border passing through Mekran Highway to connect with its existing gas transmission work at Nawabshah while Iran will build 300 km long stretch of the pipeline from Iranshahr to Pakistan's border through Iranian port of Chabahar.
The project will go a long way in reducing the growing energy crisis in the country. This project on completion, will generate 5000 megawatts of electricity which is equivalent to present peak shortage of power in the country. Iran has the worlds largest gas reserves after Russia.
