WATCH THE VIDEO HERE The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Limited has claimed to have achieved 1.8 million barrels per day (bpd) crude oil production and 7.4 standard cubic feet per day (scfd) gas production in November. The disclosure was made available by NNPC’s spokesperson, Olufemi Soneye, on Thursday, following a press briefing in Abuja. The national oil company said it is also targeting about 2 million bpd by the end of the year. Speaking at the press briefing, the Group CEO of NNPC, Mele Kyari, congratulated the Production War Room Team that anchored the production recovery process. “The team has done a great job in driving this project of not just production recovery but also escalating production to expected levels that are in the short and long terms, acceptable to our shareholders based on the mandates that we have from the President, the Honourable Minister, and the Board,” Kyari said. “We are confident that with this same momentum and with the active collaboration of all stakeholders, especially on the security front, we can see the possibility of getting to 2mbpd by the end of the year,” he stated. NNPC’s claim of the production of 1.8 million bpd of crude oil comes a few days after OPEC released its monthly data, showing Nigeria’s crude output for October only grew to 1.43 million bpd.
