Investors Sought For Sheberghan Gas Field Project

摘要

BMI View: Only the brave need apply for the Sheberghan Gas Field Development Project, although in the long term it could offer strong returns as well as an opportunity for early entry to a developing country with large economic growth potential Afghanistan's minister of mines has said that the country intends to issue a tender for the Sheberghan gas feld and associated power plant in the north of the country in January 2011. Wahidullah Shahrani told Reuters of the planned timetable for the tender at the sidelines of the frst Afghanistan International Investment Conference (AIIC) in Dubai on November 30. The wide range of incentives provided for the Sheberghan project as well as guaranteed buyers for gas and power should help to draw interest, although a plethora of risks including security, corruption and the rule of law mean that only the brave need apply.
