The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) has said that Nigeria’s oil production increased by an average of 1.71 million barrels per day (bpd) in July 2025,

According to the NUPRC, the figure represents a 9.9 per cent year-on-year surge from 1.56 million bpd produced in July 2024.

It noted that July’s output comprised 1.507 million bpd of crude oil and 204,864 bpd of condensates.

On a month-on-month basis, total production rose by 0.89 per cent compared to the 1.69 million bpd recorded in June 2025.

The data showed that performance across crude oil terminals recorded mixed results with Forcados leading production in July with 9.04 million barrels, a 2.1 per cent increase from June, while output at Bonny rose sharply by 12.7 per cent to 8.07 million barrels, and Escravos production grew by 7.1 per cent to 4.47 million barrels.

Bonga terminal also recorded gains, delivering 3.68 million barrels, up 4.2 per cent from the previous month, while Odudu (Amenam Blend) and Tulja-Okwuibome terminals posted modest growth of 2.9 per cent and 2.8 per cent respectively.

Despite the rebound, Nigeria continues to fall short of its 2025 federal budget production target of 2.06 million bpd, set against a benchmark oil price of $75 per barrel.
