Royal Dutch Shell plc, Total S.A as well as South Korea's state-run Korea Gas Corp (KOGAS) attended the two-day meeting on November 12-13 in Tehran, IRNA reported.
Earlier in August 2013 Iran and Oman signed an agreement on exporting 10 million cubic meters of gas per year from Iran to Oman through a seabed pipeline.
