(WK-intern) – The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s ( www.eia.gov ) new “Today in Energy” brief looks at the expected increase in Iran’s oil production after the lifting of sanctions on the country.

“Sanctions relief will lead to an increase in Iran’s oil production and exports, which had been subject to an EU embargo among other sanctions.

Iran’s crude oil production has been relatively flat over the past three years while sanctions were in place, averaging 2.8 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2015, representing 9% of total crude oil production from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). In EIA’s January Short-Term Energy Outlook (STEO), which assumed implementation day to occur this quarter, Iran’s annual average crude oil production is forecast at 3.1 million b/d in 2016 (10% of projected total OPEC production), and almost 3.6 million b/d in 2017..”—EIA
