| Iran to expand CNG, LPG stations in Iraq | ||
| 2014-01-28 | ||
Iran will participate in building 5 CNG and LPG stations in Iraq, the Mehr News Agency reported on January 26. Iran will also export technical and engineering services to its neighbor for establishing CNG and LPG stations as well as launching smart fuel card systems.
In July 2013, Iran signed an agreement with Iraq to deliver natural gas to its western neighbor. Based on the agreement, 25 million cubic meters (mcm) of gas will be delivered to Sadr, Baghdad and al-Mansouryah power plants through pipeline.
The pipeline will stretch from Assaluyeh, near the massive offshore South Pars gas field in southern Iran, and will continue into neighboring Iraq to feed Iraqi power plants running on gas. | ||

| #3 Did I miss something, or were the no US oil field construction companies listed? Strange, very strange indeed. [sarc off] |

| #2 Those pesky Jooos and their Zionist grenades got in the way again. We'd rather work with our old friends the Iranians. Aqaba pipeline project: The United States government supported the construction of new oil pipeline that would run westward from Iraq across land to the Jordanian port city of Aqaba, permitting access from the Red Sea. The Bechtel Corporation was the prime contractor for this project. Donald Rumsfeld discussed the advantages of the pipeline personally with Saddam Hussein in 1983. The Aqaba project never made it past the drawing board, however, because of its proximity to Israel, which planners insisted upon. So near to the border it would run, the Iraqi leadership feared the Israeli side could disable the pipeline at a later date, simply by "lobbing a few hand grenades" at it. |

| #1 The 270-kilometer pipeline is estimated to earn Iran USD 3.7 billion a year in revenue. Pipelines produce USD....? Who knew? Theirs was approved, ours languishes. |
