  "account": "The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) reported a significant improvement in the Domestic Crude Supply Obligation (DCSO) performance in the second quarter of 2026, with refineries receiving 52.6 million barrels of crude oil and condensate, marking an 88.4% increase compared to the first quarter. The DCSO, which struggled in Q1, has now been actively administered and enforced, leading to better outcomes. The Dangote Petroleum Refinery, which received the bulk of the crude volumes, accepted 52.6 million barrels out of the 68.1 million barrels offered by producers. This represented 78% of the offered volumes, indicating an improvement in the conversion of offers into actual deliveries.",
