                 The volumes were in line with the OPEC member's crude oil and condensate export plans. Tehran has been battling to raise its output and export levels since economic sanctions targeting Tehran's disputed nuclear programme were lifted in January.
                            Japan's trade ministry on Wednesday released official data showing its imports rose 32.1 % from a year earlier to 202,000 bpd in October.

India's imports grew more than fourfold from a year earlier to 789,100 bpd, the highest in at least 15 years, and topping China's imports of 773,860 bpd, which were more than double from a year ago. Imports by third-biggest buyer South Korea rose 73.2 %.
