  "account": "The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission has revealed that domestic refineries in Nigeria received over 127 million barrels of crude oil and condensate between January and September 2026. This increase came after resolving supply disputes between producers and refiners, which had previously disrupted crude deliveries in the first quarter of the year. NUPRC Chief Executive Oritsemeyiwa Eyesan attributed the improvement to commercial disagreements being resolved and the regulator considering a crude swap framework to reduce transportation costs for local refineries. The commission's intervention led to significant improvements in the second and third quarters, with 53.7 and 45.1 million barrels of crude oil and condensate supplied to domestic refineries, respectively.",
