Russia, Iran and Qatar, holders of more than half of the world's natural gas, agreed to form a ``gas troika'' for joint exploration and production, OAO Gazprom said.
``We have agreed to create a technical committee, and one of its missions will be to review projects that can be implemented in a trilateral way,'' said Alexei Miller, chief executive officer of Russian gas exporter Gazprom. Miller spoke to reporters in Tehran after talks today with Iranian Oil Minister Gholamhossein Nozari and Qatari Oil Minister Abdullah bin Hamad al-Attiyah.
