Nigeria’s Crude Oil Production Hits 236 Million Barrels in First Half of 2024
Nigeria produced 236,229,281 barrels of crude oil in the first half of 2024, according to the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC).
Monthly production figures show 44.2 million barrels in January, 38.3 million in February, 38.1 million in March, 38.4 million in April, 38.8 million in May, and 38.3 million in June.
This production marks an increase from 219.5 million barrels in the same period in 2023 but is lower than the 302.42 million barrels produced in the first half of 2020.
The average daily production fluctuated from 1.43 million barrels per day (mbpd) in January to a low of 1.23mbpd in March, with slight recoveries in subsequent months.
Mele Kyari, Group CEO of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited, highlighted the challenges of oil theft and vandalism, which hinder investment and production.
Despite these issues, Kyari expressed optimism that Nigeria would soon achieve a production rate of two million barrels per day.
Since Uber exited Nigeria, rumours have been circulating over why the company left the country. One of the claims suggested that FAAN was part of the reason for the exit.
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has now addressed the rumours and claims of its involvement in Uber’s decision to leave Nigeria.
FAAN said it could not speak for Uber’s decision, noting that the company likely had its own economic and regulatory considerations for leaving Nigeria.
FAAN’s Managing Director, Olubunmi Kuku, said “I can’t speak to Uber’s exit from Nigeria. I am sure they have their own economic and regulatory decisions as to why they chose to exit.”
The Federal Government trains 500 women and youths in food production and agriculture. The programme was started to support food security.
The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security partnered with the National Horticultural Research Institute (NIHORT).
The women and youths were taught tomato, okra and Telfairia production techniques. The government believes this will help boost agriculture, improve food production and strengthen the economy in Ogun State.
According to reports, fuel stations are reducing their prices a bit. This has become a general thing around Nigeria after the spike due to the removal of subsidy.
The prices are dropping to ₦1,275 and ₦1,299, going lower than ₦1,300 compared to what it was before.
