Iran's Ministry of Economy announced in a report that the country will have at least $51 billion in oil and gas condensate export revenues in the upcoming solar year. The report, published on the official website of the Iranian Ministry of Economic Affairs and Finance, adds that assuming an average daily export of 2.6 million barrels of crude oil and gas condensates, the total average export revenues for Iran next year will be at least $51 billion and at most $55 billion. The report considers the average price of Iranian oil next year to be between $54 and $58. Last year, the price of Iranian oil was slightly over $52. Previously, Radio Farda had estimated the oil and gas condensate export revenues for the last year to be around $50 billion, which, along with revenues from petroleum products and liquefied gases, reached $57 to $58 billion. The Ministry of Economy's report also refers to the budget for the upcoming solar year, stating: "Considering the share allocated for the government from oil revenues in the budget for the year 97, at 53.5%, and taking into account the average currency exchange rate of 36,000 rials, it is predicted that the resources considered will be at least 982,260 billion rials (97% of the budget proposal) and at most 1,059,300 billion rials (105% of the budget proposal)." The report continues that in the current year's budget, the price of each barrel of oil is set at $55. According to assessments by the International Energy Agency and the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the price of Brent oil this year is considered to be around $60. The average value of Iranian oil and gas condensates is slightly less than Brent oil, but the price of $55 seems reasonable. The report anticipates that Iran will export 2.6 million barrels of crude oil and gas condensates daily next year, which is nearly equal to Iran's exports this year. Gas condensates are a type of ultra-light and expensive crude oil produced from gas fields. Iran produces 608,000 barrels of gas condensates daily, of which 450,000 barrels are exported. Iran's daily oil production is also 3 million and 851 thousand barrels.
