Iran says it is discussing the development of a major gas project with French energy giant Total.
Ali Kardor, the managing director of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), told the domestic media that discussions with Total are over the development of Phase 11 of South Pars gas field.
Nevertheless, he emphasized that it is still not clear whether the French company will win a deal over the project.
Kardo added that companies from China and Russia are also interested in Phase 11 that had been previously dedicated for production of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
The official told IRNA that the fate of the project will be determined within the next few months. He also did not rule out the possibility that Total could be the leader of a consortium to develop Phase 11.
