re: Where is Iran storing their pumped oil now?

I mean there are only so many ways to transport and store oil. I must be behind the times I guess but I've been in the industry for 30 years so maybe I can learn something new.
I would have to believe they have shut in around 50% at this point and the rest is going to domestic.

I know you are brilliant, but their production has also been curtailed. If you believe there is about to be an ecological disaster, hang your GreenPeace Flag.

You are really not coherent. That's exactly what I said, they have shut in or in layman's terms "turned off the tap" on around 50% I would assume. Your starting premise was they hadn't and were storing it all. I don't believe there will be and ecological disaster because of that but they are making zero money on oil at this point.

Does that mean Iran has shut down/stopped pumping oil on 50% of their wells? If so, will these wells return to 100% when restarted? Still trying to understand where the currently pumped oil is being "stored", utilized, or shipped out. TIA

I am so sorry you failed.

Yes they have stopped producing on 50%. Restarting is a long process that doesn't happen over night. You have to gradually repressurize or you are at risk of permanently trapping the crude in water causing major issues for any future output on that reserve. You also have to pig the line and either use thermal means like hot water or chemicals to remove the wax buildup that settles in when not producing. This takes weeks sometimes.
My opinion only. Less the shut in production they are able to send the other 50% to refineries and don't have to store any extra anywhere because they are full already.

Close your eye and dream it until it’s true.

What is your understanding of what is actually happening. I would genuinely like to hear. I could be wrong but I would need to be convinced something else is happing that overrides current constraints/capaciites.

Your sarcasm meter needs a visit to the repair shop.
I agree with you.

The oil is being shipped out via rail to China.

Roads and railways exiting Iran should have been taken out a long time ago and if they try to repair bomb again.
Along with bombing any empty storage tanks and of course cutting off the strait any shipping that would benefit Iran.
Ultimate pressure!

A trickle at best that would be in their current 50% remaining production to try and make some money but it's negligible and probably only funding leadership at this point. Rail would be a bottleneck if you haven't reduced production because it's a mere fraction of production by an exponential gap.
Edit: And my coworker just said that the rail systems to the east of Iran are not even the same gauge so they would have to offload to another train causing more delays and expense. Those other countries aren't doing it for free I promise.

Iran sells, buys, or trades oil with Russia, China, North Korea, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and more
Example
Azerbaijan has contracts with Iran to send crude to Iran to be refined in exchange for natural gas.

We all know this but there is no way they could have increased with those trading partners enough. They list you gave only have so much capacity as well. Someone has to absorb 1.5 M barrels a day. They have a very small regional demand (your list). The most significant issue is what I already said. There is no physical capacity, rail, truck however to continue to move 1.5 M barrels a day.
