According to the regulator, excluding condensate, Nigeria produced 1.53 million barrels per day in May, 1.55 million in June, 1.51 million in July, and 1.5 million in August.

Terminal operations

The commission attributed the September increase to stable operations at most production assets and the absence of significant disruptions to pipeline operations. In its assessment, this improved production continuity and the efficiency of crude oil shipments.

The highest average daily volume of crude oil and condensate production was recorded at the Forcados terminal, at 320,320 barrels. The Bonny terminal ranked second, with 303,270 barrels per day. Nigeria also aims to increase production to 3 million barrels per day by 2030.
