The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) says Nigeria’s average daily crude oil production increased to 1.505 million barrels per day (bpd) in June.
OPEC spoke on Nigeria’s drilling performance in its latest
monthly market report, released on Tuesday.
The oil cartel said the production figures were obtained
through direct communication with Nigerian authorities.
The OPEC normally sources its crude oil output data from two
channels: direct communication from member countries and secondary sources such
as energy intelligence platforms.
According to the report, the current output signifies a 3.58
percent rise from the 1.453 million bpd production volume recorded in May —
also representing the highest output since January.
The new figure also marks the second time Nigeria has met
OPEC’s production quota of 1.5 million bpd in 2025.
The oil cartel said data from secondary sources placed
Nigeria’s crude production at 1.547 million bpd in June — a 1.24 percent increase
from the 1.528 million bpd recorded in May.
With the current production level, the global oil
organisation said Nigeria maintained its position as Africa’s leading oil
producer, followed by Algeria, which recorded an output of 927,000 bpd.
Citing secondary sources, OPEC said “total DoC crude oil production
averaged 41.56 mb/d in June 2025, which is 349 tb/d higher, m-o-m”.
On July 6, OPEC and its allies (OPEC+) decided to increase
production by 548,000 bpd in August.
The oil cartel said the participating countries “will
implement a production adjustment of 548 thousand barrels per day in August
2025 from July 2025 required production level”.
