Qatar is seeking to import natural gas from the South Pars field in Iran to help meet domestic demand for the fuel, Press TV reported, citing Iran’s state-run Mehr news agency.

Qatar, which exports gas under long-term contracts to Europe and Asia, faces a shortage of gas at home, Iranian Press TV said, citing Mehr.

South Pars is the northern portion of a natural gas reservoir in the Persian Gulf that Iran shares will Qatar. Iran’s portion of the reservoir contains about 14 trillion cubic meters of gas, Press TV said.
