Nigeria's oil production increases as OPEC compliance continues

In August 2026, Nigeria's crude oil and condensate production rose to 1,677,777 barrels per day, reflecting a 0.4 percent increase from July's output. This marks the fourth consecutive month of compliance with OPEC quotas. The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission reported that the increase was largely due to resolving operational challenges at the Erha field, which had previously affected production. Despite the rise, production levels remain lower than June's figures.
