Data from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) shows that single-day crude production peaked at 1.84m barrels as Nigeria consolidated its position as Africa’s largest crude oil producer. The lowest single-day production in the month was 1.68 million barrels
In strict crude oil terms (excluding condensate),
In strict crude oil terms (excluding condensate Nigeria produced an average of 1.53mobpd in the month under review, constituting 102% of the 1.5mobpd set by OPEC.
The crude oil data (excluding condensate) shows that Nigeria has for five consecutive months met its assigned OPEC quota, producing 1.53mobpd in May; 1.55mobpd in June; 1.51mobpd in July; 1.5movajk4442(
bpd in August and 1.53mobpd in September.
Stable production operations across most producing assets and the absence of major pipeline outages during the period under review drove the improved performance. This enhanced operational stability supported improved production uptime and crude evacuation efficiency.
The sustained growth recorded in September reflects the continued commitment of operators and industry stakeholders towards improving operational efficiency, maintaining asset integrity, and enhancing production reliability across the Nigerian upstream petroleum sector.
A breakdown of the daily average crude oil and condensate production by terminals/streams during the review month shows that Forcados Terminal accounted for 320.32kbpd while Bonny Terminal followed with 303.27kbpd
