OPEC's true approach to glut

Once, OPEC members failed to reach an agreement to decline ceiling output several months after starting oil prices in mid-2013, the oil futures faced rapidly plunge and the prices fell to bellow $30/barrel in early 2016.
Then, Venezuela, one of the worst economies in the world, started tough negotiations to convince OPEC and some non-OPEC members like Russia to freeze the production at January level. It's attempts, supported by Russia were field in Doha meeting on April 17 as well.
After all, with keeping production level at 32.5 million barrels per day (mb/d), OPEC succeeded to make non-OPEC producers, especially the US, to decline output. For 2016, it is expected the non-OPEC output decrease by 0.7 mb/d and the glut on markets would be clear by late 2017.
Once, in 2008, the global markets faced glut and prices declined significantly, OPEC's production level was about 32.5 mb/d, but they decreased the volume by 2.5 mb/d to support the prices. Since then, non-OPEC output increased by about 6 mb/d, while the Cartel's production level is currently stood at around 32.3, including 730,000 b/d is Indonesian production, which returned to OEPC recently.
During last two years, also the upstream investment declined by 40 percent, while the figure had doubled during 2000-2013 to $500 billion per year.
It means that the global oil production wouldn't increase significantly in coming years and returning glut to markets in near future is not expected.
Then, Iran and the Persian Gulf states can develop their upstream sector confidently, because the oil extraction costs in these countries are about $10-$14/barrel, very less than Russia, the US, Canada, etc.
For instance, Iran has a plan to absorb $85 billion investment in upstream oil sector by 2021. Now, it can go ahead with more confidence.
The oil ministers of OPEC members are preparing to hold the annual meeting, no more worried about the future of oil markets seriously.

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
