Despite sanctions, Iran's dry natural gas production grew steadily over the past 20 years
08.11.2021
Despite international sanctions, Iran produced 8.4 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of dry natural gas in 2019, making the country the worlds third-largest dry natural gas producer after the United States and Russia. Natural gas production in Iran has grown steadily over the past two decades despite sanctions that affected Irans energy exports, financial transactions, and imports of certain technologies. Irans domestic natural gas demand, which the sanctions do not affect, has been the main driver of Irans natural gas production growth.
