Nigeria’s crude oil production rose to about 1.436 million barrels per day (bpd) in November 2025, up slightly from 1.401 million bpd in October. Despite the improvement, the country still fell short of its OPEC-assigned quota, marking the fourth straight month of underperformance.

The continued shortfall reflects challenges ranging from infrastructure issues to operational constraints, affecting revenue and foreign exchange inflows for Africa’s biggest oil producer.

Meanwhile, OPEC’s latest outlook suggests global supply and demand will remain tightly balanced in 2026, increasing pressure on member countries to meet production commitments. Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
