To do this, Iran would have to boost its total output (including domestic consumption) to six million barrels per day, roughly equal to its peak production in the 1970s. Given the enormous advances in oil-extraction technology since the 1970s and the immense size of Iran’s reserves (the fourth-largest in the world, after Saudi Arabia, Russia, and Venezuela), restoring output to the levels of 40 years ago seems a modest objective.
只要制裁被解除，伊朗承诺可以几乎立刻将石油出口量提高一倍，达到每天两百万桶，到2020年还可以将出口量再翻一番。要实现这一点，伊朗需要将其总产出（包括国内消费）提高到每天六百万桶，大致相当于20世纪70年代的巅峰产量。自20世纪70年代以来，石油开采技术有了长足的进步，而伊朗石油储备更是规模巨大（世界第四，仅次于沙特阿拉伯、俄罗斯和委内瑞拉），回复40年前的产出绝对算不上困难的目标。
