NIOC contractually committed to commence gas deliveries in December 2005. The contract provides for any disputes to be determined by international arbitration under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce," a statement from Crescent claimed.

"NIOC contractors have announced that they finally expect to achieve technical readiness later this summer, but we have still not had official notification of a date of readiness to deliver gas from NIOC despite numerous letters to the Iranian Petroleum Minister as NIOC Chairman requesting confirmation of a date.

We hope for a successful final resolution of all matters so that gas deliveries can finally commence on this important project, which will bring great benefits to the region's economy," the company said.
