BAKU, Azerbaijan, April 22. Türkiye is expected
to buy Oman’s liquefied natural gas (LNG), Trend reports via Oman Liquefied Natural
Gas LLC (Oman LNG).

Late last week, Turkish BOTAS Petroleum Pipeline Corporation
signed a 10-year agreement with Oman LNG under which the Omani
state-owned company will supply BOTAS with 1 million tons of LNG

million tons of LNG per year with Shell, its shareholder, and a
