NIOC CEO:
Iran oil production to hit 3.5m bpd by mid-March 2024
Iran’s oil production will increase to 3.5 million barrels per day from 3.3m bpd by the end of the current Iranian calendar year (March 19, 2024), said the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) managing director on Monday.
MEHR: Iran’s oil production will increase to 3.5 million barrels per day from 3.3m bpd by the end of the current Iranian calendar year (March 19, 2024), said the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) managing director on Monday.
Speaking to reporters, Mohsen Khojastehmehr added production in the Sepehr and Jofeir oil fields in southwestern Iran started with a 20,000 bpd output last week.
Shana quoted Khojastehmehr as saying that the official inauguration ceremony of the two fields will be held in the presence of Oil Minister Javad Owji soon.
OPEC's latest Monthly Oil Market Report (MOMR) published on Thursday showed that Iran's September production rose to the highest in years despite sanctions.
The increase in production aligns with Iran’s efforts to restore its oil output to pre-sanctions levels, the report added.
