\tAverage prices of Iranian crude oil have soared by around $12 per barrel in 2017 from the previous year, the Oil Ministry said, reflecting an upward trajectory in global prices of the energy commodity.<\/p>\n

\tIran’s light crude has averaged $51.51 a barrel in the 11 months of the year, Shana said on Monday, citing a ministry report. That is 28% higher than its 2016 average of $40.12, a year that saw oil plummeting to $26, the lowest in more than a decade.<\/p>\n

\tThe price of Iran Heavy, one of the country’s main grades for export, also rose by $12.83, or 33%, to $50.97 a barrel, the report said.<\/p>\n

\tOil has been buoyed through the year by an agreement between OPEC and some non-OPEC producers on cutting back production by 1.8 million barrels per day to restore balance to markets and boost prices.<\/p>\n

\tSpearheaded by OPEC’s de facto leader Saudi Arabia and the world’s top producer Russia, the deal was initially intended for six months, but it was once extended by March 2018 and later to the end of next year.<\/p>\n

\tThe accord has propelled international benchmark Brent and the US West Texas Intermediate Crude to their highest levels since the middle of 2015.<\/p>\n

\tUnder the scheme, Iran is expected to pump around 3.8 million barrels a day. The country is producing around the same level, according to government figures and data provided by OPEC’s secondary sources monitoring the production of the group’s member states.<\/p>\n

\tPrices have also drawn support from political tensions in the Middle East and supply disruptions in Iraq, the United States and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

\tThe extension of supply cuts last month is sending a strong signal that the oil market rebalancing could speed up.<\/p>\n

\tA group of 30 experts and economists surveyed by Reuters last week forecast Brent crude to average $58.84 a barrel next year, compared to an outlook of $55.71 per barrel for 2018 in the previous Reuters poll conducted at the end of October.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
