Iran's condensate exports likely dropped by 13 percent in 2013


Iran Custom Administration's reports indicate dropping condensate exports in 2013 by 13 percent.
The International Energy Agency's latest reports indicates that Iran exported about 1.07 million barrels of crude oil and condensate during 2013.
Iran's daily crude oil and condensate exports during 2013 decreased by 450,000 barrels compared to 2012.
Iran exported about 8.42 million tons of condensate during December 19, 2012 to December 20, 2013, custom's data states.
Gregorian year
Statistics indicates that during December 20, 2012 to March 19, 2013, Iran's total condensate exports stood at 1.288 MT, indicating a 50 percent drop compared to the same period in the previous year, but the country's condensate exports experienced a huge soar during three latest months of 2013.
Condensate export based on Custom reports:
From December 20, 2012 to March 19, 2013 stands at 1.228 MT
From March 20, 2013 to October 21, 2013 stands at 3.926 MT
From October 22, 2013 to December 19, 2013 stands at 3.266 MT
The Custom statistics say that the country's condensate exports was about 1.149 MT during October 20 to November 19, while this figure was 0.9349 MT during the next month ending on December 19,2013 and 1.095 MT during December 20, 2013 to January 19.
The country exported roughly 8.5 MT or 195,616 barrels per day of condensate during 2013.
This figure for the same period in the previous year was 9.766 MT.
Fiscal year
However, thanks to a huge increase during the last three months, the country's condensate exports rose significantly during current solar year, which will end on March 20, 2014.
Condensate exports based on Iranian fiscal year:
First eleven months of current fiscal year: 11.886 MT
Last fiscal year: 9.630 MT, equals to 221,171 Bbls per day
Two years ago: 11,378 MT, equals to 262,000 Bbls per day
As the Custom statistics indicate, Iran's condensate exports during 11 months of the current fiscal year are even more than total condensate exports in the past two years averagely.
The Iranian fiscal year (solar year) starts on March 20 and all statistics are set based on the Iranian calendar. The Iranian calendar begins on Farvardin 1 (March 20 according to the Gregorian calendar) and runs through Esfand 29 (March 19) and 01.01.2013 in Iranian calendar is 12.10.1391 (d/m/y).

Iran in fighting with Caspian Sea pollution

Image
Iran, with its largest population on the Caspian Sea shore among other littoral countries, is keen to save the world's biggest inland body of water from pollution and has initiated a "Comprehensive plan to reduce pollution" plan. The Fars News Agency quoted the head of Department of Environment Mohammad-Javad Mohammadzadeh as saying that the plan targets preventing entry of pollutants, including household waste, especially in Gorgan and Mazandaran provinces, to the Caspian. Meanwhile, Abdolreza Karbasi, the deputy head of Environmental Protection of Iran alarmed about the ecological state of beaches, releasing warning to swimmers in the Caspian Sea. "The pollution at some parts of the sea has exceeded the authorized limit by 100 times," he said. Iranian coastal population is around 6 million people, including residents in the regions en route the rivers that flow to the Caspian, whose household waste waters enter the sea without passing through wa

U.S. Sanctions Slow Iran’s Electricity Generation And Trading

Image
By  Dalga Khatinoglu The peak electricity demand in Iran and its neighbor clients Afghanistan and Iraq happens in warm months, but during this period last year Islamic Republic’s exports plunged due to high demand at home. Its electricity imports from Armenia and especially Turkmenistan have been declining dramatically since September. This is possibly due to U.S. banking sanctions, which restrict Iran’s ability to pay its bills. During international sanctions prior to the nuclear deal (2011-2016), Iran was also unable to pay for Turkmen gas and electricity imports, running up $2bn in debts. Iran’s electricity trade during last and the previous fiscal years (GWh/month): ​ Power Generation Iran increased nominal power generation capacity by 2.3% last year; less than half of projected growth, but its actual electricity generation increased by only 1% to 312 TWh, a fifth of projected plan. The growth rate for actual power generation is far below nominal capacity, because

Iran Launches Uncompleted Gas Project Citing Suspiciously High Production

Iran’s Oil Ministry officially opened four new phases of the South Pars gas field March 17, citing production and investment figures that don’t add up. The nominal production capacity of the newly opened phases 13, 22, 23 and 24 is 113 million cubic meters per day (mcm/d), but currently they are producing about half of that. The processing units of these phases are also operating at half capacity most probably due to Iran’s technical limitations compounded by sanctions. Phase 13 is projected to produce 56 mcm of natural gas and 75,000 barrels of gas condensate (ultra-light oil) per day, when it becomes fully operational. The capacity of phases 22-24 are together equal to phase 13. The Oil Ministry said all phases will be operating at full capacity within one year. According to Oil Ministry’s statement, some $10 billion were invested in the mentioned four phases, but ministry officials put the figure at $11 billion during the inauguration ceremony, which President Hassan Rouhani
