Iran will inaugurate its second natural gas storage facility in central city of Kashan, aiming to boost gas storage capacity by 3-4 billion cubic meters, ILNA quoted Iran Gas Storage Company managing director Masoud Samivand as saying.
The facility will be built at 2000-2500 meters depth and will have capacity to store 3-4 billion cubic meters of gas, he added.
Some 10 trillion rials (about $815 million) is needed to build the facility, he noted.
