🔥 Trending Nigeria's Crude Oil Production Soars: Latest Figures and OPEC Quota Update

Nigeria's crude oil production, excluding condensates, reached 1.56 million barrels per day (bpd) in June 2026 ¹³⁴. This figure marks the highest monthly production level for Nigeria since April 2020, representing a 74-month high ²⁴⁶⁷.

Exceeding OPEC Quota

The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) reported that Nigeria surpassed its crude oil production quota set by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) ²³. The OPEC quota for Nigeria was 1.5 million bpd, and the country achieved 104% of this target in June 2026 ¹².

Combined Production with Condensates

When condensates are included, Nigeria's total crude oil and condensate production in June 2026 reached an average of 1.735 million bpd ¹⁶⁸. Condensate production accounted for approximately 180,000 bpd of this total ⁴⁶.

Production Trends

The June 2026 performance represents the fourth consecutive month of production growth for Nigeria ⁶⁸. This increase is attributed to stable operations and improved pipeline reliability ⁷. While the June 2026 figure shows a significant rise, historical data indicates that monthly production can fluctuate. For instance, a separate report shows Nigeria's crude oil production at 1.527 million bpd, which was down from 1.548 million bpd the previous month and 1.580 million bpd one year prior, marking a -1.38% change from the previous month and -3.39% from the previous year ⁵. However, the most recent data from NUPRC confirms the 1.56 million bpd figure for June 2026 as the current high ¹²³⁴.
