The rise in oil price is a big missed opportunity for Nigeria with the tenth best oil reserve in the world as it continues to struggle to meet monthly oil production cuts.
OPEC+ quota production quota for Nigeria, which covers only crude oil and not condensates, is put at 1.614 million barrels per day while Nigeria’s production capacity is closer to 2.2 million barrels per day according to Timipre Sylva, Nigeria’s Oil Minister.
Sadly, however, in the most recent OPEC report for December 2021, Nigeria reported only 1.2 million barrels b/d production 400,000 daily short of OPEC+ quota allowance.
