“Nigeria’s oil output recorded significant growth in July 2025, averaging 1.71 million barrels of oil per day (bopd). The figure comprises 1.507 million bopd of crude oil and 204,864 bopd of condensates,” NUPRC said.

“This reflects a 9.9% year-on-year surge from the 1.56 million bopd produced in July 2024, which included 1.33 million bopd of crude oil and 226,866 bopd of condensates.

“On a month-on-month basis, output rose by 0.89% compared to the 1.69 million bopd recorded in June 2025, which comprised 1.505 million bopd of crude oil and 191,572 bopd of condensates.”

On the monthly performance of Nigeria’s crude oil terminals, the commission said Forcados recorded the highest output in July with 9.04 million barrels — representing a 2.1 percent increase from 8.85 million barrels in June.
