A glance at Iran's petroleum products sector


The overall picture of Iran's liquid fuels production, consumption level is clear; producing 230 million and consuming 219.5 million liter of gasoline, diesel, fuel oil and kerosene per day.
According to the latest report, published by Shana citing on Iran's Anti-Contraband And Currency Smuggling Headquarters, the country's liquid fuels production and consumption level have been decreased by 5 percent and 14 percent during the ten months of current fiscal year.
Iran's fiscal year starts on March 21.
Addressing the details of liquid fuels consumption, National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company's Vice President Mansour Riyahi told IRNA two weeks ago that Iran consumed 250 million liters per day of various fuel production, including compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG).

The reason for the decline in Iran's liquid fuel consumption is the significant increase in the country's gas delivery to power plants.
Iran increased supplying natural gas to power plants by 13 billion cubic meters (bcm) during last 11 months. It's expected that the diesel and fuel oil consumption in power sector would decrease from 27 billion liters in last your to 18.5 billion liters in current fiscal year, according to the Deputy Oil Minister for Planning and Supervision On Hydrocarbon Resources Mansour Moezzemi.
Iran also stopped gas-oil import, but still imports about 4.5 million liters of gasoline per day.
Decreasing fuel oil consumption also opened more room for fuel exports. According to the official statistics, Iran's petroleum exports and bunkering increased significantly during the current year.

On the other hand, Iran bunkered over 3.1 million metric tons of fuel to ships sailing through the Gulf in the first ten months of the current Iranian calendar year, which indicates a 30 percent increase on year.

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, beca...

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.

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 ...
