Iran’s Oil Exports Estimated at 824,000 bpd – New Low
Iran’s oil exports for the month of December are projected to be as low as 834,000 barrels per day in December. Iran sold 1.08 million bpd in November. Declining imports by China and India are the main reasons for the new low volumes.
China’s imports this month are estimated at only 242,000 bpd, a new low. In November, China purchased an estimated of 382,000 bpd. And in the period of January-October, China’s imports averaged 426,000 bpd, a figure already 22 percent lower than in 2011.
India’s loading for December is estimated at 119,400 bpd compared with 275,000 bpd in November. India’s Jan-Oct average was at 328,000 bpd.
Because of sanctions, China, India and South Korea are unable to secure insurance for tankers carrying Iranian crude.
