According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration's report published in March 2013, Iran's condensate production totalled approximately 650,000 barrels per day in 2011, of which 440,000 bbl. /d was marketed and 210,000 bbl. /d was mixed in with the crude oil.
Iran's total condensate exports during the first 11 months of the current fiscal year even surpassed the country's condensate exports during the 12 months of pre-sanctions years.
In total, Iran exported 11.378 million tons (262,000 barrels per day) of condensate two years ago from March 2011 to March 2012, which decreased to 9.63 million tons, 221,171 barrels per day in the last fiscal year.
According to the Custom Administration report, gas condensate export value shares were 25.37 percent of Iran's total non-oil exports during the first 11 months of the current fiscal year. Iran categorises condensate as a non-oil export item.
Based on the latest report published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), Iran's oil exports increased by 250,000 barrels per day in January compared to the country's average monthly exports in 2013.
Iran's monthly oil exports gradually increased in the past four months, reaching 1.32 million barrels per day, including gas condensates in January.
Iran's average oil exports were 1.07 million barrels per day in the previous year.
Gas condensates are a kind of light and expensive crude oil extracted from gas fields.

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 in fighting with Caspian Sea pollution

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

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
