Nigeria meets OPEC crude oil quota for fifth consecutive month

Nigeria has successfully met its OPEC crude oil production quota for the fifth consecutive month in September 2026, according to data released by the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC). Daily production reached a peak of 1.84 million barrels, marking a 2.34 percent increase compared to the previous month. The country's average daily output stood at over 1.71 million barrels of crude oil and condensate, solidifying its position as Africa's largest crude oil producer.

Nigeria's production, excluding condensate, averaged 1.53 million barrels per day, meeting the 1.5 million barrels per day quota set by OPEC. The NUPRC attributes this impressive performance to stable production operations and the absence of major pipeline outages. The sustained growth in September reflects the industry's commitment to improving operational efficiency and maintaining asset integrity.
