Iran's oil exports to the West surged in May to their highest level since the lifting of sanctions in early 2016 and almost caught up with volumes exported to Asia. Iran, which used to be OPEC's second biggest oil exporter, has been raising output since 2016 to recoup market share lost to regional rivals including Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
自2016年年初取消制裁后，伊朗五月份出口至西方的石油达到最高值，几乎赶上了出口至亚洲的石油总量。伊朗曾是石油输出国组织中位列第二的石油输出国，自2016年起就加大了出口量，以此来弥补与沙特阿拉伯和伊拉克等地区竞争对手之间的市场份额差。
While many Asian nations continued to purchase oil from Iran during sanctions, Western nations halted imports, halving Iran's overall exports to as little as one million barrels per day, or bpd. Last month, Iran exported about 1.1 million bpd to Europe including Turkey, almost reaching pre-sanction levels and only slightly below the 1.2 million bpd supplied to Asia. Iran's overall May oil production totaled 3.9 million bpd.
虽然在制裁期间，很多亚洲国家依然从伊朗购买石油，但是西方国家停止了进口，将伊朗的总出口量缩减了一半，平均每天只有100万桶。上个月，伊朗每天大约向土耳其等欧洲国家出口110万桶石油，几乎赶上了制裁前的出口量，而且仅仅稍低于亚洲120万桶/日的出口量。伊朗5月份的石油产量达到了390万桶/日。
