The Iran-Iraq-Syria pipeline is a proposed natural gas pipeline running from the Iranian South Pars / North Dome Gas-Condensate field towards Europe via Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon to supply European customers as well as Iraq, Syria and Lebanon. The pipeline was planned to be 5,600 km long and have a diameter of 142 cm. Iraq signed an agreement with Iran in June 2013 to receive natural gas to fuel Iraqi power plants in Baghdad and Diyala. The contract covers 1.4 Bcf/d over 10 years. Iran\'s plans to export 176 MMscf/d of gas to Iraq by 2015.
In July 2011 Iran, Iraq and Syria planned to sign a contract potentially worth around US$6 billion to construct a pipeline running from South Pars towards Europe, via these countries and Lebanon and then under the Mediterranean to a European country, with a refinery and related infrastructure in Damascus. A framework agreement was to be signed in early 2013, with costs now estimated at US$10 billion; construction plans were delayed by the Syrian civil war. In July 2015, Iranian Gas Engineering and Development Company (IGEDC) and Pasargad Energy Development Company signed a BOT (build-operate-transfer) contract under which the project owner will provide 25% of finance and National Development Fund of Iran the rest for the construction of IGAT-6.
