Iran builds huge natural gas storage facility

Iran has completed what it says is the largest natural gas storage facility in the Middle East.

A ceremony was held on Saturday at the newly-built storage facility in the suburbs of the central Iranian city of Qom.

The facility is expected to store up to 1.5 billion cubic meters of natural gas produced in fields in the Gulf.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said at the ceremony that Iran has processed major energy sources for the world and has the infrastructure to store them.
