  "account": "The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) reported a remarkable 97.4% performance rate in the implementation of the Domestic Crude Supply Obligation (DCSO) during Q2 2026. Local refineries received 53.7 million barrels of crude oil and condensate, which was 98% of the 69.3 million barrels offered by producers. The Dangote Refinery secured 98% of the 53.7 million barrels supplied to local refiners, taking 52.6 million barrels—77% of what was offered to it and 10.4 million barrels below its requirement. Producers were allocated 55.1 million barrels during the quarter but only offered 69.3 million barrels, exceeding their allocation by 14.2 million barrels or 25.8%. Actual supplies totaled 53.7 million barrels, leaving 15.6 million barrels unutilised. The DCSO is enforced under Section 109 of the Petroleum Industry Act, which requires oil producers to supply crude to local refineries. The NUPRC attributed the improvement to increased local oil production and long-term supply agreements between producers and refineries, as well as the ongoing enforcement of the DCSO under the PIA framework.",
