Iranian Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad underlined that the country’s oil exports continue as before with no change in quality and quantity.On the sidelines of the cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Paknejad stated, "We have no concerns in this regard," SHANA reported.His remarks came a week after the Israeli regime was forced to halt its 12-day aggression against the Islamic Republic as US President Donald Trump showed reluctance in further American involvement in the war.Meanwhile, China's oil imports from Iran surged in June as shipments accelerated before the Israeli-imposed war against the Islamic Republic and demand from independent refineries improved, according to analysts.The world's top oil importer and biggest buyer of Iranian crude brought in more than 1.8 million barrels per day from June 1-20, as stated by ship-tracker Vortexa, a record high based on the firm's data.Kpler's data put the month-to-date average of China's Iranian oil and condensate imports at 1.46 million bpd as of June 27, up from one million bpd in May.The rising imports were fueled in part by an increase in available supplies from floating storage after export loadings from Iran reached a multi-year high of 1.83 million bpd in May, Kpler data showed.Robust loadings in May and early June mean China's imports from Iran are poised to remain elevated, Kpler and Vortexa analysts said.According to Xu Muyu, Kpler's senior analyst, independent Chinese "teapot" refineries, the main buyers of Iranian oil, also showed strong demand as their stockpiles depleted.A possible relaxation of US sanctions on Iranian oil could further bolster Chinese buying, she added.Last Wednesday, Trump signaled a potential easing in enforcement to help Iran rebuild; however, he said that Washington had not given up its maximum pressure campaign on the country, including restrictions on Iranian oil sales.Blowout controllersMeanwhile, in line with neutralizing sanctions on its oil sector, the Iranian Offshore Oil Company (IOOC), in cooperation with the National Iranian Oil Company, has localized an advanced drilling and well blowout control simulator (Series-5000), Mehr reported.Ahmadreza Rasti, head of the Iranian Offshore Oil Company, emphasized that the technology of the indigenized marine drilling and blowout control simulator is comparable to foreign models."The objectives of launching this simulator are training, enhancing the preparedness of drilling personnel, reducing the need to send personnel to foreign training centers for marine oil and gas well blowout control, and neutralizing sanctions," Rasti was quoted as saying by Mehr news agency.
