TEHRAN, May 04, (Shana) – Iran is keen to revive oil swap deals with littoral states of the Caspian Sea including Kazakhstan, Russia and Turkmenistan, Managing Director of the Iranian Oil Terminals Company (IOTC) Pirouz Mousavi said on Wednesday.

Speaking to Shana, Mousavi expressed hope that swap of oil and liquid gas belonging to some littoral states of the Caspian Sea resume in the near future.

He referred to Iran's Minister of Petroleum Bijan Zanganeh negotiations with some countries including Kazakhstan, Russia and Turkmenistan and said Iran aims to increase oil swap to 500,000 barrels per day.

Due to active diplomacy and hard efforts of Petroleum and Foreign Ministry, the oil production and export has increased significantly, the official added.
