Iran's energy consumption ups by 164 million barrels of OE


Iran's actual primary energy consumption rose significantly, despite dropping liquid fuels consumption, according to the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company report covering the last fiscal year's energy statistics released Mar 3,
Iran's fiscal year starts on March 21.
The report says that the consumption level of all kind of primary energy carriers increased, with the exception of kerosene and fuel oil.
The overall actual energy consumption during the mentioned period reached 1,546 million barrels of oil equivalent (OE).
The 316-page report says that Iran's primary energy consumption increased more than 155 percent during the last decade. However, the report doesn't take into account energy wasted by flaring gas, gas re-injections, etc.
The amount of flaring gas in Iran reaches 32 million cubic meters per day (mcm/d), while about 77 to 90 mcm/d is re-injected to old oil wells.
However, the Iranian officials statements, as well as some released official statistics indicate that the country's gas consumption increased by 16 bcm during eleven months of the current fiscal year, while the consumption of liquid fuels decreased by 14 percent in total.

The report also says that the country's refineries consumed 1.859 million barrels of oil per day during last year, indicates 58,000 barrels increase on year. There is not any official statistics about the crude oil consumption level of Iran's refineries during the current year, but according to the latest report, published by Shana citing on Iran's Anti-Contraband And Currency Smuggling Headquarters, the country's liquid fuels production level have been decreased by 5 percent during the ten months of current fiscal year.

Iran's liquid fuel bunkering volume also reached 2.97 million tons per annum during last year. The country also swapped about 1.96 mt/a of liquid fuels during the mentioned time. The country's Compressed natural gas (CNG) also decreased from 19 mcm/d to 18.3 mcm/d during last year, but it reportedly resumed to 19 mcm/d in current 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 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...

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 ...
