Nigeria’s daily oil production peaks at 1.84m barrels in September – NUPRC

Nigeria's daily oil production hit a record high of 1.84 million barrels in September, according to the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC). This represented a 2.34 percent increase from the previous month and surpassed the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) quota by 30,000 barrels per day.

The peak production occurred on a single day, while the lowest daily output was 1.68 million barrels. The sustained production performance marked Nigeria's fifth consecutive month of meeting its OPEC quota, outperforming the 1.5 million barrels per day target by 30,000 barrels. The improved production was largely attributed to stable operations and the absence of major pipeline outages, demonstrating the resilience of Nigeria's oil industry despite challenges such as theft, vandalism, and evacuation difficulties.
