From 1.33m bpd to 1.17m bpd, Nigeria’s daily oil production in a Blinks

The disclosure on Thursday, by the organization of the petroleum exporting countries and its allies, says the rise in oil prince would give some green light to Nigeria’s economic outlook this year.

Though, crude oil production in Nigeria suffered a cut in the daily production by 155,000 barrels, bring the country to a record low in December, this is largely due to the production cuts by the organization of petroleum exporting countries and it affiliate allies.

The country’ daily production falls to 1.17 million barrels per day in December 2020, this fall short of the November daily production in the same year which was 1.33 barrels per day.

According to sources, total crude oil production by the 13-member OPEC averaged 25.36 million barrels per day in December, up by 280,000 million barrels per day  in the previous month.

“Crude oil output increased mainly in Libya, Iraq and the UAE, while production decreased primarily in Nigeria, Congo and Angola. Libya’s crude oil output in December rose to 1.22 million bpd, according to secondary sources,” the group said.

OPEC and its Russia-led allies, a group known as OPEC+, have been curbing output to support prices and reduce oversupply since January 2017.

The international oil benchmark, Brent crude, rose by $0.27 to $56.33 barrels per day as of 7:30pm Nigerian time on Thursday.

OPEC noted in the report that Nigeria’s economy entered a recession in the third quarter of 2020 with real GDP contracting by 3.6 per cent year-on-year after a sharp contraction of 6.1 per cent y-o-y in Q2.

“In the meantime, a meaningful rise in oil prices following the recent DoC (Declaration of Cooperation) decisions along with a positive trajectory from COVID-19 vaccines would brighten the 2021 outlook and lay the groundwork for a hopeful medium-term real GDP expansion,” it said.

The group said oil demand was estimated to have improved toward the end of 2020, mainly due to successful containment measures in major consuming countries in the region.
