Iran is noted for the production of petroleum, but oil revenues have declined since US sanctions were imposed in 1995. The principal oilfields, located at the head of the Persian Gulf in the south-western region, are considered among the richest in the world. Reserves are estimated at 92.8 billion barrels, sufficient to maintain present production levels for over 70 years. Iran also has one of the largest reserves of natural gas of any country, amounting to 12.6 per cent of world reserves. The oil industry was nationalized in 1951; petroleum production is controlled by the national Ministry of Petroleum. About 3.6 billion barrels per day of oil were produced in the mid-1990s; in 2002 75 billion cu m (2,649 billion cu ft) of natural gas were also produced, about 20 per cent of which was exported to central Asia. Petroleum output dropped in the late 1970s as part of an effort by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) of which Iran is a leading member, and its second largest oil producer, to keep oil prices from declining. They fell for a second time in the 1980s because the principal oil-producing regions were the scene of warfare with Iraq. Much of the oil is normally exported by supertankers loaded at facilities on Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf.
