Iran: value and values

Shell and Repsol are about to sign a deal
for $4,3 bln in developing the fields and building a LNG plant and a terminal for a part of the
South Pars Field, situated in Persian Gulf near Iran.
The signing of the accord is planned for January 27.
Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Pakistani companies have expressed interest in buying LNG from the plant.
