The Minister of Petroleum (Oil), Heineken Lokpobiri, had last year, expressed the government’s commitment to increasing its daily production to over 2 million barrels per day.

This makes over 91,000 barrels increase from the 1.34million barrels recorded in December 2023. According to the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission’s (NUPRC) monthly oil production report, the country produced 44 million barrels of crude oil and by adding the blended and unblended condensates, this puts the total liquid produced in January 2024 at 51million barrels.

This puts the total average of liquid daily at 1.64million. © 2024, maritimemag. All rights reserved.
