The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) reported in its last monthly oil market report that Nigeria produced 1.18 million barrels per day (mbpd) in crude oil for May 2023. This indicates a 185,000bpd increase over the 999,000bpd made in April, based on data from direct communication. Following this improved output, Nigeria has now reclaimed its top spot as Africa’s highest crude oil
supplier/producer, toppling Angola by 73,000bpd.
