Iran’s Crude Oil Exports to Fall 50% on Embargo, IEA Says

Iran’s oil exports will probably decline by 50 percent when European sanctions take full effect in July, the International Energy Agency said.

Shipments will fall by at least 800,000 barrels a day, David Fyfe, head of the IEA’s market and industry division, said by phone from Paris, citing discussions with market participants. Iran exported just below 2 million barrels a day last month, compared with 2.6 million in November, the IEA, adviser to 28 industrialized nations, said in a report today. Iran’s oil minister said exports haven’t decreased.
