This is a misallocation of resources. Pakistan should be using it's own resources to dig up and exploit the trillions and trillions of dollars worth of Coal in the Thar desert.

Instead, money is being spent to help Iran get rich?

Pakistan should be drilling near the Pak-Iran border on its side.

sir i agree with you that it would cost quite a lot of money but considering indiads future energy needs they will be ready to pay anything.
moreover you will know very well how the indian ego work they will pay 5 times than solve the whole issue with pakistan and iran.

thanx

I dunno about the ego but I found Indians to be damn good business men. You see gas at 15 USD per MMBTU is feasible if crude oil is above 86 USD per bbl

Yes coal gasification or direct fire for electricity will be a good idea. I think Pakistani govt should convert coal into gas and transport this gas to every district for its own gas based power stations.

Pakistan should be drilling near the Pak-Iran border on its side.

Yes it should but no block is allocated in that area due to war like situation there.

 

[ejaz007]

Blocks have been allocated to different companies including foreign but the work has not commenced due to security situation.

US intelligence unsure of Iran's nuclear weapons intentions: chief
Updated at: 0054 PST, Friday, February 13, 2009

WASHINGTON: US intelligence does not know whether Iran intends to develop nuclear weapons, but at a minimum is keeping open the option of developing them, the new US intelligence director said Thursday.

Retired admiral Dennis Blair said US intelligence assesses that Iran has not restarted nuclear weapons design and weaponization work that it halted in the fall of 2003.

"Although we do not know whether Iran currently intends to develop nuclear weapons, we assess Tehran at a minimum is keeping open the option to develop them," he said in an annual report to Congress.

Iran ready for gas deal with Pakistan, without India
Updated at: 0054 PST, Wednesday, December 31, 2008

Iran ready for gas deal with Pakistan, without India TEHRAN: Iran will sign a deal with Pakistan to sell gas to the neighbouring country, even if India, a third party to the deal, walked out, a news agency reported Iran's oil minister as saying on Monday.

India stayed away from talks in Tehran on a proposed $7 billion pipeline in September, saying it wanted to agree transit costs through Pakistan on a bilateral basis first.

Iran Oil Minister Gholamhossein Nozari said a delegation from Pakistan had arrived in Tehran for two days.

"Iran will sign a deal with Pakistan, if India does not take part in the project," agency quoted Nozari as saying.

In July, Iran said India and Pakistan had accepted Iran's demand for gas price reviews based on market changes, denying reports by some Indian newspapers that the pipeline talks had failed after Iran demanded a review every three years.

The pipeline would initially carry 60 million cubic metres of gas daily to Pakistan and India, half for each country. The pipeline's capacity would later rise to 150 million cu metres.

Iran said it has completed 18 percent of the work for the pipeline to bring gas from its South Pars field to the Iran-Pakistan border.

Pakistan has yet to begin work on a 1,000 km (625 mile) stretch of the pipeline to link Iran with India.

Iran has the world's second-largest gas reserves after Russia. But sanctions, politics and construction delays have slowed its gas development, and analysts say Iran is unlikely to become a major exporter for a decade.
