“Commissioning and start-up activities are in progress and will culminate in ramp up of oil and gas production in the coming days.”
However, in its latest report obtained by ANAEDOONLINE.NG, the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission, NUPRC, said that Nigeria’s dwindling average oil output, including condensate, dropped Year-on-Year, YoY, by 7.4 per cent to 1.37 million barrels per day, mb/d in the first 10 months (January – October) 2022, from 1.48 mb/d in the corresponding period of 2021.

This showed a shortfall of 317,940 barrels when juxtaposed against the 1.69 mb/d, which the 2023 budget was based on at $70 per barrel.
