"The resumption of Libyan exports will only increase the vulnerability of production restrictions agreed between OPEC + countries," said Jim Ritterbusch, CEO of Ritterbusch and Associates.

According to oil minister Bijan Namdar Zangeneh, Iran is expanding its oil production capacity in the expectation that the final lifting of sanctions will allow it to regain its share in the global crude oil market.
"It's true that we have a bad result due to cruel and illegal sanctions, but it won't happen anymore," Zanganhe said. "We need to increase production in order to be able to return to the market fully and restore our share if necessary."
Other statements were made on the sidelines of an agreement on the development of Yaran. The Iranian company Persia Oil & Gas Industry Development Co has entered into an agreement with the state-owned National Iranian Oil Company for the operation and further development of the oil field.According to reports, the deal is expected to increase production by about 40 million barrels over a 10-year period. To implement the project, direct investments of $ 227 million and additional operating costs of $ 236 million are required.
Yaran - a field divided between Iran and Iraq - has approximately 550 million barrels of oil and is divided into northern and southern parts of Iranian territory.
