本月早些时候，欧吉 表示 ，自现任政府两年前上任以来，伊朗石油产量已增长了 50%。

2021年8月伊朗石油产量为220万桶/日，现已增至330万桶/日。到今年冬季末，产量预计将进一步增至 360 万桶/日。

今年夏天，伊朗石油产量和出口量预计飙升 至 2018年美国制裁以来的最高水平。

一些分析师认为，尽管美国目前实施制裁，但伊朗的海外石油销量仍较高，但伊朗并不打算过多限制出口，因为它希望保持石油市场供应充足。

然而，由于美国本月早些时候表示将 加强 对伊朗石油工业的制裁，伊朗的出口可能面临压力。

白宫能源安全顾问阿莫斯·霍赫斯坦 (Amos Hochstein)告诉彭博社，在以色列与哈马斯冲突期间，美国将加强对伊朗石油工业的制裁，旨在使出口量减少超过 100 万桶/日  。

“我们将执行这些制裁，”霍赫斯坦说。“这些数字将会下降。”

Earlier this month, Owji said that Iran’s oil production has jumped by 50% percent since the current administration came into office two years ago.

Iran’s oil production was 2.2 million bpd in August 2021 and has now increased to 3.3 million bpd. Output is further set to rise to 3.6 million bpd by the end of this winter.

This summer, Iran’s oil production and exports were estimated to have soared to the highest level since the U.S. sanctions were imposed in 2018.

Some analysts have attributed Iran’s higher oil sales abroad despite the current sanctions to the U.S. not looking to clamp down too much on the exports as it looks to keep oil markets well supplied.

However, Iranian exports could come under pressure as the United States signaled earlier this month that it would tighten the sanctions on Iran’s oil industry.

The U.S. will tighten sanctions on Iran’s oil industry amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, aiming to bring exports down by more than 1 million bpd, White House energy security adviser Amos Hochstein told Bloomberg.

“We are going to enforce those sanctions,” Hochstein said. “Those numbers will come down.”
