Oman is considering buying a 10-15% stake in Petronet LNG's
"We have not decided on (the) stake. It will be a small (stake) - maybe 10-15%," Rumhy said, adding the two sides had been engaged in talks for the past two months.
Petronet, which supplies liquefied natural gas (LNG), aims to build a 5 million tonne a year LNG terminal at Gangavaram, on the east coast, by 2016.
The visiting minister also said the energy-hungry nation aims to get 1 billion cubic feet of gas per day from Iran from 2017/18, under a long-term agreement, if the plan materialises.
