TEHRAN, May 18 (Xinhua) -- A Dutch manufacturer of flexible composite pipes has announced that it is in final talks with Iran to develop a "flowline project" in the country's South Azadegan oil field, Tasnim news agency reported on Friday.
"We are currently in the final negotiations for a project that should be a significant project," the managing director of the SoluForce Flexible Composite Pipe manufacturing company told Tasnim.
Robert Jan Berg preferred not to disclose the details about the venture, but said that "we will likely to sign the contract in the next two or three weeks. It is a flowline for South Azadegan oil field," Jan Berg was quoted as saying.
"We have been active in Iran for more than ten years. Iran's market is certainly very attractive for us," he said.
Iran is a very important country for their products, Jan Berg said, adding that there are many good projects but it normally takes quite long time to negotiate and to establish.
Tasnim also did not provide information about the name of the company.
SoluForce flexible composite pipe is completely non-metallic system that can be used for various oil and gas field applications both onshore and offshore. It is an application used when corrosion or scaling is the problem.
