Supply local refineries or lose export permits, NUPRC warns oil firms

  • The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission has mandated oil companies to comply with Crude Oil Supply Obligations for local refineries, warning that failure to do so will result in denied export permits for crude oil cargoes intended for domestic refining.
  • In a letter dated February 2, 2025, Chief Executive Gbenga Komolafe emphasized that diverting crude oil meant for local refineries is illegal and requires express approval from the Commission.
  • A recent stakeholder meeting with over 50 industry players revealed that both refiners and producers blamed each other for inconsistencies in the Domestic Crude Supply Obligation policy implementation.
  • The Commission reiterated that any changes to domestic refining cargoes must be approved and warned that violations threaten Nigeria's energy security, referencing Section 109 of the Petroleum Industry Act 2021.
