As per the current fiscal budget, the Oil Ministry is obliged to offer 2 million barrels of light crude, 2 million barrels of heavy crude oil plus two million barrels of natural gas condensates on IRENEX on a monthly basis.
Offering crude oil and petroleum products on the energy market is part of the government efforts to involve the private sector and international companies in the oil industry, which has long been under government control.
During the previous round of IRENEX (June 11), NIOC offered two million barrels of natural gas condensate at the base price of $58.43 per barrel.
NIOC has so far sold 1.1 million barrels light and heavy of crude via IRENEX.
