According to NIOC, Hormoz Ghalavand said: “Currently, the National Iranian Oil Company is ready to restore the production of crude oil to the maximum possible amount and if the country needs to increase the export of crude oil or increase the consumption of domestic refineries, it can be done quickly.”

In line with increasing the crude oil production capacity of the National Iranian Oil Company to the maximum possible amount (equivalent to the production of crude oil before the imposition of cruel US sanctions against Iran, which was 3.838 million barrels per day), the production monitoring management of the National Iranian Oil Company, in cooperation with its subsidiary companies, has conducted a large-scale drill in all its onshore and offshore districts in a wide area of ​​the country since the beginning of the week.”

He added: “This maneuver was aimed at identifying and eliminating bottlenecks and operational problems by measuring the level of readiness of equipment, oil facilities, wells and manpower, and it was carried out successfully.”
