NUPRC data showed that condensate, which is not part of Nigeria’s OPEC quota was 207,052 barrels per day.

Nigeria’s oil production has been hampered by rising oil theft, illegal refining and production shut-ins.

Yesterday, oil and gas workers protested against the rising level of crude oil theft in the Niger Delta and demanded that the Federal Government take action against the criminals.

Marching under the aegis of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, PENGASSAN, in Abuja, the workers said companies in the industry were struggling to stay afloat due to loss of revenue.
