Breakthrough: Pakistan to award gas pipeline contracts to Russia

Another day, another announcement, just like so many others before .........


...................
According to sources, Pakistan will submit a draft of agreement for financial and technical assistance for the IP pipeline in 15 days. Though the Russian side assured financial assistance for the pipelines, they did not indicate the amount....................

Even a draft has not been submitted yet, let alone a firm contract signed!

What was that old saying about counting chickens and hatching?
 
Multi Billion dollar project and 5 countries Including Iran-Pakistan (IP) and Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India.
:victory::bounce::yahoo:
Means countries will come more closer. Nice for Pak, india, Russia, Afghanistan and Turkmenistan relation.
Win Win situation for all.
:victory:
 
why the hell pakistan themself can do it? or even if they cant they should think from the pov of importing technology. so when in TAPI only Pakistani pipes should be used.
 
Well its great move , to build this

a) Reduce Gas prices
b) Reduction of load on local resources
c) Double options in nation for 2 gas pipelines

I mean Russia always invests in your infrastructure

I think its good nations are coming closer , that is the FUTURE
So start counting those turtles coming from the egg forget about chickens

It couldn't get much better than this PAKISTAN steal mills was the last JV they did with us which has supported us in a ginormous way till zardari and his appointed gones ******up every thing but lets see this deal will certainly help us in every energy demanding field

HURRAY TO THE RUSSO-PAK friendship chapter :yahoo:

even Chinese bank had refused to fund and give its hand in this project, the IP project which would be termed as a lifeline to pakistan's economy. after completion of this project, it will suddenly add 4000MW electricity which will give a sudden boast to Pakistan's industries who suffers from power cuts. Pakistan's biggest foreign policy would be based on getting this IP pipeline project done, anyhow, with a big cross sectional area as future needs of gas of Pakistan would only increase, with a hope of supplying gas to India in return of petrol/diesel, which would benefit both the economy :cheers:

its only Russia who may help and fund this project on its own and we hope russian help to get this project done will finally result in a strategic alignment between Russia and Pakistan :tup:
 
hope of supplying gas to India in return of petrol/diesel, which would benefit both the economy :cheers:

I don't think it's Pakistan who supplies that gas to India, but Iran. I'm quite sure that that will be put in the contracts. Don't think countries can just transport Iranian gas to other countries without Iran agrees with it.

wrong it was originally supposed to be ipi meaning iran pakistan india pipeline but india slipped out so now its just called the ip pipeline however the gas does belong to us since we pay for it so we can use it for any means necessary and remember iran wants this pipeline alot they even offered to build our own side too but our govt refused but good russia is getting is it will create great relations with them however i will celebrate when the deal is signed an they cant back out

ummm why are indians getting excited this is great for us and if india wants in on it then super but russia building it why would that make you guys all excited after all in this deal so far all india had to say is we are not part of it and then nobody cared about india :p:P:P

Good to know, India will trust Russia more with making the pipeline rather then China.

Maybe India had a say who to make the pipeline, as it will be connected with India as well.

what did india think the gas would have bombs in it or maybe microscopic spy robots that will infiltrate india,s national secrets :p:P

buddy get out of the delusions india only had one say and that was we are not part of ipi thats why its now called ip after that nobody gave a crap to what india said:p:P
 
The benefits from the Gas Pipeline are tremendous

1- Cheap gas , from first pipeline , and and once the second is completed with abundance of Gas available there would be
200-300% more then what Pakistan needs and it could actually result in reduction in gas prices nationally

2- The gas would fuel Industrial Sector with Energy Needs , our service sector is already doing well , Energy would bring
in more Billions into Pakistani Economy

3- Also dependence on Oil in Pakistan will go down , and less Petrol would be needed by Pakistan may be we could save 1-2 Billion
dollars per year

Right now the , Petrol Purchases are eating up our National Reserves.

While the Nations uses GAS , hopefully we can build some Hydral Power plants to add annother 5,000-8,000 MW needed in Residential sector , not forgeting increaing usage of Nuclear Power Plants

Its a WIN-WIN situation


IRAN - PAKISTAN gas pipeline
Central Asia - Pakistan gas Pipeline
Thar Coal Projects for Power
Dam construction work

All are positive gain for Pakistani Economy , and considering that Russia is sponsoring it , adds much needed professionalism and quality aspects ...
 
There is no india in the deal , so lets not involve nations that are not part of deal

Iran - Pakistan
Central Asia - Pakistan - China
 
What happens once the pipes are built and the countries are ready to export gas?
Surely they'll want money, preferably US Dollars. Will we have enough to pay for it all?

No, don't think you can use it just like you want. Or do you think that Ukraine can do with Russian gas just like they want? You will find always that kind of restrictions in such contracts.
 
Anyway, Iran pipe line itself will not be built unless Pakistan finds a solution to pay Russians for building the pipe line itself.Following hard line against the US will create all sorts of problems as China or Russia can not do much as their currencies can not be used to pay Iran.
