Nigeria's Oil Output Rises to 1.7mbpd As Pipeline Security Improves

NNPC said stronger pipeline security and anti-theft efforts lifted output from 960,000 barrels a day in 2022 to a peak of 1.84 million.

  • On Wednesday, Group Chief Executive Officer of NNPC Ltd Bashir Bayo Ojulari reported that national crude oil production reached a peak of 1.84 million barrels per day in 2025, driven by improved pipeline security in the Niger Delta.
  • This recovery from the 2022 historic low of 960,000 barrels per day stems from an integrated energy security framework combining intelligence gathering, regulatory oversight, and community-based surveillance to protect infrastructure.
  • The House Committee on Petroleum Resources dismissed all allegations against Tantita Ltd after a comprehensive review, with members passing a unanimous vote of confidence in the firm's ongoing role protecting national assets.
  • "The progress recorded is the result of deliberate and coordinated efforts," Ojulari said, noting that improved security measures have restored investor confidence in Nigeria's oil and gas sector.
  • Senate President Godswill Akpabio and other legislative leaders urged continued collaboration among stakeholders to sustain production growth, while NNPC commits to maintaining security interventions for long-term stability.
