Summary

Nigeria’s crude oil output jumped to a 15-month high in May as Africa’s top producer continues to ramp up production, data from the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) showed. Nigeria pumped 1.53 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude last month, the highest level since January 2025, as the African country now produces at its ceiling per the OPEC+ group’s agreements, after years of failing to do so due to sabotage, oil theft, and oil spills.
