The talks between Iran and world powers in Vienna to save the 2015 nuclear deal have been positive, the US State Department said on Tuesday.
It was discussed that they have a long road ahead and concrete approaches should be investigated regarding the steps that both Iran and the USA should take.
Although progress has been made, the EU says much more work is needed in the Iran nuclear talks.
Russia said on Tuesday that the parties agreed that experts should begin work on a full renewal of the deal.
Tuesday, the US passed a bill allowing anti-trust cases against the OPEC oil production group that adjusts oil prices and the countries working with it.
However, in a period of rising oil prices, to be honest similar schemes that put pressure on OPEC have not succeeded in more than 20 years.
OPEC reached a level of adjustment to the oil production cut agreed by the OPEC + allies, with rates unchanged in February. OPEC + production cut compliance is 113% in March.
According to some, the compliance of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) members reached 124%, while non-OPEC participants achieved 93%.
China’s crude oil imports from Saudi Arabia increased by 8.8% in March compared to the previous year. For the seventh month in a row, Saudi Arabia has maintained its position as China’s largest crude oil supplier.
Some Iranian shipments are believed to have declined, while imports from the United Arab Emirates increased by 86%.
China’s crude oil imports from Russia rose 6% in March to 1.75 million barrels from a year ago, but fell from 1.91 million barrels in February.
With its appetite for spot oil, China’s imports from Angola, which stood at 0.73 million barrels a month ago, are also heading towards more competitive African resources at 0.74 million barrels a day.
Customs data also showed that crude oil supply from Kuwait increased by 29% over the previous year to 0.6 million barrels per day.
Oil from Saudi Arabia is expected to drop further in April due to a voluntary cut of the Saudis’ supply of 1 million barrels per day and rising Arab light crude prices for the Asian market.
Iran is said to have indirectly transported a record amount of oil to China in recent months as supplies from Oman, UAE and Malaysia. Most of the oil reaches eastern China’s Shandong province, which is a hub for the country’s independent refineries.
