Nigeria’s Crude Oil Production Dips To 1.46mbpd From 1.53mbpd In February, Says OPEC



OPEC


The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) has disclosed that Nigeria’s average daily crude oil production declined to 1.46 million barrels per day (bpd) in February.


This was contained in the cartel’s Monthly Oil Market Report, (MOMR) released on Wednesday, March 12, 2025.

OPEC noted that the production data was based on direct communication with Nigerian authorities.

According to the report, the current output signifies a 4.8 percent decrease from the 1.53 million bpd recorded in January — the first month-on-month output decline in the year.

The oil cartel said data from secondary sources put Nigeria’s crude production at 1.56 million bpd in February — a 2.2 percent increase from the 1.52 million bpd recorded in January.


With the current production volume, the global oil body said Nigeria retained its position as the biggest oil producer in Africa, with Algeria taking second position, producing 912,000 bpd output.


OPEC said secondary sources disclosed a “total OPEC-12 crude oil production averaged 363 tb/d in February, m-o-m, averaging about 41.01 mb/d”.


“Crude oil output increased mainly in Nigeria, Iraq and Iran, while in Gabon and Congo production decreased,” OPEC said.


“At the same time, total non-OPEC DoC crude oil production averaged 14.15 mb/d in February 2025 and averaged 2088 tb/d lower, m-o-m.

“Crude oil output increased mainly in Kazakhstan, while production in Mexico, Malaysia and Russia decreased.”
