IRANIAN OIL PRICE: $60 - $70

IRANIAN OIL PRICE: $60 - $70

SHANA - Iranian Minister of Petroleum Bijan Zangeneh said the country must be excluded from any decisions by OPEC members regarding production cuts.

Speaking to reporters upon his arrival at Helsinki Hotel in Vienna on Thursday morning, the official said, "As I have said earlier, at this stage and as long as the sanctions continue, Iran does not participate in any agreement on OPEC production, and must be excluded from any decision on the level of production."

"Iran has always supported OPEC and its positions for market stability, but at this point, as I said earlier, as long as Iran is faced with sanctions, it will not participate in any agreements on production," he reiterated.

The official said many proposals were on the table regarding production cuts and members which wanted to reduce their output must make decisions about it.

He also refrained from announcing Iran's crude oil production and exports, saying "This would lead to more US pressure on Iran."

Asked about potential OPEC production cuts, Mr. Zangeneh said, "Different figures are proposed and we must wait and see what decision OPEC members will make."

He also said that $60 to $70 dollars per barrel would be reasonable for crude oil.

"If Mr. Hook has come to Vienna to apply for US membership in OPEC and therefore meets OPEC members, this request can be reviewed, but if he wants to push for more pressure on Iran through OPEC, it is an unprofessional move."

"OPEC is an independent organization and no part of the US Department of Energy to take orders from Washington."

Not Happy with Qatar Leaving OPEC

"Iran is not happy with the departure of Qatar from OPEC and is unaware of the reason behind this decision," the Iranian Minister of Petroleum said.

In response to a question about Iran's exit from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, he stated: "Iran is one of the founders of OPEC and is not going to leave the organization."

Zangeneh also touched on meeting with Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak in Vienna, saying: "I welcome this meeting for exchange of views between the two countries."

JMMC needed to operate within scope of its mandate

Zangeneh said Iran's joining the Joint OPEC-non-OPEC Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) must be examined.

Last year, the committee operated beyond the scope of its authority, he said rejecting rumors that Iran would join the committee next year, he said.

In response to the question of whether the committee should stop its activities, the minister said: "It would be better if the committee acted within its mandate instructed to it by OPEC."

Regarding the Declaration of Cooperation of OPEC and non-OPEC producers, he said the deal shall be regarded as a cooperation agreement and nothing beyond that. "The declaration should not be regarded as a new organization or anything like it."

КОМФОРТНАЯ ЦЕНА НЕФТИ

МИНЭНЕРГО РОССИИ - На мой взгляд, текущий диапазон цен на нефть комфортен для производителей и потребителей. Скачок до 86 долларов носил краткосрочный характер, и был связан во многом с ажиотажем вокруг Ирана. Сейчас цены скорректировались, хотя неопределенность с Ираном сохраняется в некоторой степени.

IRAN, RUSSIA OPPORTUNITIES

NGW - Although US secondary sanctions against Iran’s petroleum sector resumed on November 5, Russia will most likely defy them by continuing to invest in Iran’s natural gas sector. Russia may also seek to influence the flow of Iran’s natural gas into the European market, where it could undermine Russia’s political-economic interests if not coordinated with Moscow.

THE NEW IRAN SANCTIONS

U.S. DT - “Treasury’s imposition of unprecedented financial pressure on Iran should make clear to the Iranian regime that they will face mounting financial isolation and economic stagnation until they fundamentally change their destabilizing behavior. Iran’s leaders must cease support for terrorism, stop proliferating ballistic missiles, end destructive regional activities, and abandon their nuclear ambitions immediately if they seek a path to sanctions relief,”
