Iran exports 2.4 mm bpd in first half of 2011
Iran exported 2.4 mm barrels of crude a day in the first six months of the Iranian calendar year that started on March 21, said Mohsen Qamsari, head of international affairs at state-owned National Iranian Oil Co.
The Gulf state sees Asia as its oil top destination, Qamsari said.
The nation hasn’t defined any new target markets in Europe for its crude and is seeking to work with a variety of refiners in that region, he said.
Iran is the second-largest producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries after Saudi Arabia.
