Tuesday's report by IRNA says the state-owned Pars Gas and Oil Company and South Korean GS Company signed the euro1.24 billion -- about $1.83 billion -- deal on Monday night. The project, to be completed in four years, will refine 3.9 billion square feet of natural gas per day to feed Iran's domestic consumption.
