Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has explained that unscheduled maintenance at a refinery facility made Nigeria\u2019s crude oil production drop on a month-on-month basis in August.<\/p>\n

This comes as Nigeria\u2019s crude oil production dropped to 1.63 million barrels per day month-on-month in August, down from 1.71 million bopd in July.<\/p>\n

NUPRC disclosed this in its Crude Oil and Condensate Production for August 2025, released on Saturday.<\/p>\n

This means a 4.7 per cent drop in combined crude oil and condensate production from 1.71 million bopd in July.<\/p>\n

In the same vein, crude oil production itself declined by 4.8 per cent, down from 1.5 million bopd in July 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe month-on-month drop was driven by a single-day unscheduled maintenance at an oil facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the month of August, the lowest and peak combined crude and condensate production were 1.59 million bopd and 1.85 million bopd, respectively,\u201d NUPRC said.<\/p>\n

The data showed that while there was a decline month-on-month, the country\u2019s crude oil production rose on a year-on-year basis by 5.5 per cent to 1.63 mbpd in August this year from 1.58 million bopd in the same period last year.<\/p>\n

Further analysis indicates that daily condensate production in August stood at 197,229 bpd, reflecting a decline.<\/p>\n

Also, Nigeria\u2019s crude oil output in August achieved 96 per cent of its OPEC quota, which is set at 1.5 million bopd.<\/p>\n

Accordingly, in the period under review, Forcados Terminal topped the production charts, delivering a total of 8.99 million barrels, including 8.08 million barrels of crude oil and 915.2k barrels of condensates.<\/p>\n
