The length of Dovlatabad – Sarakhs – Khangiran gas pipeline is more than 30 Kilometers and the transmission potential is around 12 billion cubic Meters annually.
By completing this new pipeline in the first stage , gas transmission from Turkmenistan to Iran reaches to 33 million cubic Meters in the following stages.
The pipeline is constructed with potentials of 45 million cubic Meters of gas perches in two that the construction of first phase with the length of 35 kilometer from Dovlatabad gas field to Hasheminejad gas Refinery has been completed" Managing Director of  Iranian gas Engineering and Development co said "
