The Turkish energy minister has said that the country has formed a team with Qatar to work on a potential project that would involve a liquefied natural gas (LNG) pipeline being constructed that would transport LNG from the Gulf state to Turkey.
Reuters reported that Taner Yildiz said the pipeline would run through Saudi Arabia and that a team from Turkey would travel to Qatar within the next one or two months. He gave no further details regarding the cost of the project.
Qatar is seeking markets for its LNG as it aims to nearly double production of the fuel to 77mn tonnes a year by the end of 2010.
