The Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC Ltd) has unveiled its state-of-the-art Production Monitoring Command Centre (PMCC), a groundbreaking initiative aimed at revolutionizing hydrocarbon production monitoring and boosting operational efficiency across the oil and gas sector.
This is contained in a statement issued on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday.
The PMCC is designed to provide a centralized, real-time view of hydrocarbon production and transportation activities, ensuring the seamless integration of data and processes.
By leveraging advanced analytics and predictive technologies, the PMCC addresses critical industry challenges and enhances decision-making capabilities for stakeholders.
According to the NNPC Ltd, the PMCC delivers solutions through its centralized monitoring, advanced analytics, and collaborative platform in the following ways:
In a bid to combat oil theft and enhance transparency in Nigeria’s oil and gas sector, NNPC Ltd has implemented advanced monitoring measures and achieved significant production milestones.
“We have created a functional control center that monitors everything we are doing. Every camera in every location by any producer in this country is visible to us,” Kyari stated, emphasizing the importance of collaboration with industry partners to ensure the system’s success.
“When we see suspicious movements of persons, we report to the Nigerian Navy, which has always responded promptly, leading to several arrests. I can confidently say that we have significantly reduced marine theft,” Kyari added.
Additionally, the Nigerian Army on Friday launched six military-grade gunboats to support security forces in combating piracy and oil theft in Rivers State. This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance security and increase oil production.
