Iran is interested that the European energy major to undertake projects in phases 13 and 14 of the gas field based on the schedule, he stressed.
“There is a lot of work to respond to the challenging contracting market and to make sure that we have structured the design in the right way,” Malcolm Brinded, Shell’s head of exploration and production, said over the weekend.
According to The Guardian, Shell had earlier said that it would not decide until the end of this year due to the difficult investment environment, where construction costs and the falling dollar were causing havoc with planning.
“Negotiations with Total over FID of phase 11 of the South Pars gas field are underway and we are trying to reach agreement over the cost of project,” the Iranian minister said.
Total is mulling over developing Iran’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, which would be fed by phase 11 of the South Pars gas field.
