Iran Gas Trunkline
Iran Gas Trunkline (IGAT) is the series of large diameter pipelines constructed from gas producing areas in the south of Iran (Kuzestan and Bushehr Provinces) in order to transfer natural gas to the consumption centres in northern part of the country.[1]
As of 2008 there are five trunkline in operation, two under construction and two under planning.[2]
