Nigeria’s crude oil and condensate production rose to 1,677,777 barrels per day in August 2026, representing a 0.4 per cent increase from the 1.67 million barrels per day recorded in July.
The increase, though modest, marked another month of improved oil production as the country sustained compliance with its Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries crude oil quota.
The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday by its Head, Media and Corporate Communications, Eniola Akinkuotu.
The regulator stated that crude oil production, excluding condensates, stood at 1,500,190 barrels per day in August.
It said the country met its OPEC quota for the fourth consecutive month, reflecting continued efforts by operators to restore affected production capacity and address operational bottlenecks.
The latest increase followed the resolution of operational challenges involving the Single Buoy Mooring at the Erha field, which had affected production performance in the preceding month.
The NUPRC said the restoration of normal evacuation and production operations at the asset contributed positively to the overall output recorded during the month.
