Iran's daily oil production has hit a record of 4.23 million barrels per day (bpd), Iran's English-language satellite channel Press TV reported on Sunday.
"Iran produced 4.23 million barrels of oil on June 27," Managing Director of the National Iranian Oil Company Seifollah Jashnsaz was quoted as saying on Sunday.
He said Iran aims to raise its daily oil production to 4.28 million bpd by the end of the year, adding that Iran's average daily output stood at 4.1 million bpd last year.
Such a rise of oil production owes to some major projects implemented by the oil ministry this year, said Jashnsaz.
Iran's current oil output is 4.207 million bpd, and the increased output will be supplied from Darkhovein, Shademargan and Hengam oil fields in southwestern Khuzestan province, Jashnsaz said.
"Iran's oil fields have the capacity to increase production, and therefore, we will certainly reach our desired daily oil output by the end of the year," he said.
