  "account": "The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) reported that local refineries received 53.7 million barrels of crude oil in the second quarter of 2026, accounting for 97.4% of domestic crude supply. This figure was disclosed in the Q2 2026 statistics issued by the Commission, in compliance with Section 109 of the Petroleum Industry Act (PIA). The data revealed that producers supplied more crude to domestic refiners than their monthly allocations in April and June, although performance dipped below the allocated volume in May. The improvement in crude supply performance was attributed to increased local oil production and the execution of long-term supply agreements backed by bankable Sales and Purchase Agreements between producers and local refineries. The DCSO framework operates on a \"willing buyer, willing seller\" basis, as per the PIA, guiding the eventual volumes supplied and accepted by local refiners. The NUPRC emphasized its commitment to achieving the government's energy sufficiency objective by maintaining recent gains in crude oil production and enforcing the DCSO. The monthly figures indicated a range of compliance with crude supply allocations during the quarter, with the Dangote Refinery accounting for the largest share of crude offered to local refiners in the second quarter.",
