Iran gas transmission rose 2.2 percent last calendar year compared with a year earlier, he said, adding, “There are 39,000 kilometers of high-pressure gas transmission pipelines, 90 gas pressure reduction stations, 61 operation yards, and 33 compressors in total.”

Referring to a 17-percent rise in gas exports in last Iranian calendar year, he noted Iran exported 20 billion cubic meters of gas last year, up from 17 billion cubic meters a year before.
