Nigeria’s nationwide oil output declined by six p.c in November 2025, reflecting a slowdown in manufacturing through the month, in line with the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Fee.
The decline was contained within the fee’s December Nationwide Liquid Hydrocarbon Manufacturing Report, which confirmed that crude oil manufacturing fell month-on-month to 1.599 million barrels per day in November, in contrast with 1.698 million bpd recorded in October 2025.
Information from the report indicated that mixed crude oil and condensate manufacturing fluctuated considerably through the month, with output starting from a low of 1.54 million bpd to a peak of 1.79 million bpd, underscoring the volatility in upstream operations.
Offering additional particulars, the regulator famous that Nigeria’s common crude oil manufacturing in November stood at 96 p.c of the nation’s Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Nations quota of 1.5 million bpd.
“The common crude oil manufacturing of November was 96% of OPEC quota (1.5 mbpd). Every day common manufacturing in November was 1,599,054 barrels per day, comprising each crude oil (1,436,005 bopd) and condensate (163,049 bopd),” the report acknowledged.
Regardless of the decline in output, the figures counsel that Nigeria remained largely aligned with its OPEC manufacturing goal, reflecting ongoing efforts by operators and regulators to stabilise oil output amid operational and infrastructure-related challenges within the upstream sector.
