Background

Iran Gas Trunkline-6 (IGAT-6) is an operational natural gas transmission pipeline operated by National Iranian Gas Company. IGAT-6 is a part of the Iran Gas Trunkline more broadly - a series of large diameter pipelines constructed from areas in southern Iran to centers of consumption in Northern Iran.

A build-operate-transfer contract was signed for the project in July of 2015, and the project was first operational in December of 2018.
