The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) said the country produced 97% of the 1.5million barrels of oil per day (mbopd) quota the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) allocated to it in May 2025.
It was a 2% decline from the 99% output recorded in April.
According to its “Crude Oil and Condensate Production May 2025,” in the period under review, Nigeria’s crude oil and condensate outputs were 1.45mbopd and 204,493bopd respectively.
The total crude oil and condensate output in May was 1.81mbopd.
In its remarks on May Production, NUPRC said: “Lowest and Peak combined crude oil and condensate production in May were 1.61mbopd and 1.81mbopd respectively.
“The daily average production in May was 1.65mbopd, comprising both crude oil (1.45mbopd and Condensate 204,493bopd).
“The average crude oil production was 97% of OPEC quota of (1.5mbopd).”
The document showed a decline from the 1.48mbopd and 141,546 bopd respectively produced in the preceding month (April).
In April, the total crude oil and condensate output was 1.68 production, representing 99% of the OPEC quota.
In March, the country recorded 1.40mbopd.
The reason for the 2% decline in production could not be immediately ascertained as The Nation could not reach NUPRC to account for it.
