Iranian Oil Minister Javad Owji said in televised remarks on Saturday that he will try to raise Iran's oil and condensates exports to 1.4 million barrels per day as set out in an annual state budget.
"In parliament, lawmakers decided to raise the ceiling of exports of oil and condensates from 1.2 million barrels to 1.4 million barrels. The Oil Ministry will do everything in its power to realise the level set in the budget," Owji told state television.
Iran, facing U.S. sanctions on its crude oil exports, does not divulge exact figures on its oil sales.Owji said his ministry planned to raise production capacity of crude and condensates to 5.7 million bpd from about 3.7-4 million bpd, without giving a timeframe. In late 2020, Iran unveiled an ambitious plan to increase production capacity to more than 6.5 million bpd by 2040. But analysts believe that is unrealistic.
