Iran made the announcement on Sunday, after the U.S. officially loosened sanctions following Iran's agreement to curtail its nuclear program. The amount is about half of the cut the country made after the U.S. tightened sanctions in 2012, according to the Wall Street Journal. While it could take months to sign contracts with some nations, some of the additional output could be sold to China and other Asian countries immediately, the Journal said.

Brent, the global crude oil benchmark, fell dollars1.14 to dollars 27.80 in Asian trading on Monday, Reuters said.
