The NNPC E&P Limited (NEPL), the flagship upstream subsidiary of NNPC Ltd., has on December 1, 2025 achieved a record production level of 355,000 barrels of oil per day (bpd).\n<\/p>\n
According to the company, the production was the highest daily output since 1989.\n<\/p>\n
The milestone marked a significant step forward for Nigeria\u2019s upstream sector and reflected the company\u2019s ongoing transformation anchored on efficiency and discipline.\n<\/p>\n
Speaking on the development, the Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Limited, Bashir Ojulari, in a statement on Tuesday, said the milestone was proof that Nigeria\u2019s energy revival was not a dream but a reality.<\/p>\n
Ojulari said the figures showed genuine transformation, adding that average daily production surged by 52 per cent, rising from 203,000 bpd in 2023 to 312,000bpd in 2025.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThis record growth is no coincidence; it stems from a clear strategy anchored on operational excellence, strong asset management, and structured field development.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cNEPL\u2019s performance demonstrates that with the right leadership, strengthened systems, and a committed workforce, Nigeria\u2019s upstream sector can overcome years of instability.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe achievement converts national ambition into measurable momentum.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe presidential targets of two million bpd by 2027 and three million by 2030 have often appeared aspirational. NEPLs delivery brings them closer to reality.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cBy showing its ability to exceed its own production benchmarks, NEPL confirms that the essential building blocks for scaling national output are being firmly established,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
The GCEO said the achievement signalled that the machinery of production equipment, processes, capabilities, and partnership could be driven with commercial discipline to produce real and positive outcomes.\n<\/p>\n
He said that the achievement reinforced
confidence nationally and across the global energy landscape, assuring partners and investors that Nigeria was committed to reaffirming its role as a dependable energy supplier.\n<\/p>\n
Also speaking, Udy Ntia, the Executive Vice President, Upstream, observed that the milestone goes beyond the 355,000 bpd figure.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cIn a sector where shortcuts can yield short-term wins but long-term damage, NEPL is making a different point: sustainable progress must rest on responsible operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis ensures that scaling production does not compromise worker safety, community wellbeing, or environmental protection,\u201d Ntia added.\n<\/p>\n
Nicolas Foucart, Managing Director, NEPL also said that NEPL\u2019s record-setting performance showed the broader transformation unfolding across NNPC Limited.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a story shaped by leadership that charts a clear course; by partnerships built on alignment and accountability; and by a workforce whose hard work is turning goals into measurable progress.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cOur people, our processes, and principles are the real engines behind this success. We are building for tomorrow, not just celebrating today,\u201d Foucart said.\n<\/p>\n
NNPC E&P Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited involved in the exploration and production of oil and gas resources.\n<\/p>\n
