NNPC E&P sets 36-year record with 355,000 bpd production

NNPC E&P Limited (NEPL) has hit a new production milestone, recording 355,000 barrels per day (bpd) on December 1, 2025—its highest output since 1989.

The achievement reflects a sharp turnaround in Nigeria’s upstream sector, with NEPL’s average daily production rising from 203,000 bpd in 2023 to 312,000 bpd in 2025, a 52% increase driven by stronger asset management and operational discipline.

NNPC Group CEO, Engr. Bashir Bayo Ojulari, said the performance shows “Nigeria’s energy revival is already happening,” adding that it boosts investor confidence and aligns with national targets of reaching 2 million bpd by 2027 and 3 million by 2030.

Executive Vice President, Upstream, Udy Ntia, highlighted that the milestone reflects responsible and sustainable operations, while NEPL Managing Director, Nicolas Foucart, said the progress underscores the impact of leadership, partnerships, and a dedicated workforce.

He noted that beyond higher volumes, the record output means increased national revenue, stronger energy security, and renewed confidence in Nigeria’s capacity to revive its energy sector.
