55 billion cubicmeters out of the total was consumed in the country and the rest were injected to the oil wells to protect gas reserves, he said.
So far, he added, 80 percent of the projects have been implemented and in light of the projects more than 20 billion cubicmeters of gas, worth more than dlrs two billion, would be replaced by other oil derivatives.
