“The Iran Deal was one of many worst and most one-sided transactions the US has ever entered into,” Trump said in that reality sheet.
Iran’s petroleum and different liquid fuels manufacturing averaged 4.43 million barrels per day within the third quarter of 2024, based on the U.S. Vitality Data Administration’s newest brief time period power outlook (STEO), which was printed final week.
That STEO confirmed that Iran’s petroleum and different liquid fuels manufacturing averaged 4.32 million barrels per day within the second quarter, 4.43 million barrels per day within the first quarter, and three.99 million barrels per day general in 2023.
Iran’s crude oil manufacturing averaged 3.34 million barrels per day final quarter, based on the STEO, which highlighted that the nation’s crude oil output got here in at 3.26 million barrels per day within the second quarter, 3.24 million barrels per day within the first quarter, and a couple of.87 million barrels per day general in 2023.
The Vitality Institute’s (EI) 2024 statistical evaluation of world power, which was launched earlier this 12 months, confirmed that Iran’s oil manufacturing stood at 4.662 million barrels per day in 2023.

The EI’s oil manufacturing determine contains crude oil, shale oil, oil sands, condensates (lease condensate or fuel condensates that require additional refining), and NGLs (pure fuel liquids – ethane, LPG and naphtha separated from the manufacturing of pure fuel), the evaluation identified.
It excludes liquid fuels from different sources, similar to biofuels, and artificial derivatives of coal and pure fuel. It additionally excludes liquid gas adjustment elements, similar to refinery processing achieve, and oil shales/kerogen extracted in stable type.
Crude oil and condensate figures within the EI evaluation embrace crude oil, shale/tight oil, oil sands, and lease condensate or fuel condensates that require additional refining, the evaluation exhibits. They exclude liquid fuels from different sources similar to biomass and artificial derivatives of coal and pure fuel.
